Week: Jan 5 to Jan 11, 2026
Total earnings: $2,638.64
This week was a straight up statement week. Big total, clean breakdown, and a workload that shows consistency. That is exactly how you want to open a new year. Strong start energy, momentum building, and the kind of week that sets a baseline you can measure everything else against.
Earnings breakdown
- Batch earnings: $590.38
- Tips (final): $464.02
- Adjustments: $1,584.24
- Health subsidy: $1,584.24
- Weekly adjustment: Pending
The real story
The headline is the total, but the story is how it was built.
- Tips at $464.02 means the service level is landing. Tips reflect customer experience, speed, and accuracy, and this number says the effort is being felt.
- Adjustments at $1,584.24 show the system working in your favor this week, and health subsidy weeks always hit different when the hours line up.
- Weekly adjustment still pending means there is still a possible extra add on coming after the final calculation. If it clears, that is bonus upside on top of an already strong week.
Workload and efficiency
- Active hours: 36 hr 24 min 5 sec
- Batches completed: 62
That workload is steady and disciplined. 62 batches in 36+ active hours shows you stayed in motion without burning the whole week chasing one massive unicorn order. That balance matters because it keeps you consistent and reduces the odds of a dead day destroying the weekly average.
Area breakdown
No extra fluff, just where the time went.
- LA County: 32 hr 34 min 36 sec
- Canoga Park, CA: 34 min 34 sec
- Chatsworth, CA: 2 hr 27 min 13 sec
- Los Angeles, CA: 47 min 42 sec
LA County clearly carried the week. When one core zone dominates like that, it usually means the route rhythm is dialed in and you are not wasting hours bouncing between slow pockets.
Why this is a strong start to 2026
A good year is not built on one crazy day. It is built on stacking solid weeks early, then letting consistency compound.
- You opened the year with a $2.6K week, which is a confidence booster and a proof of concept.
- The mix is healthy: base earnings plus strong tips, plus adjustments doing their job.
- Most importantly, this gives you a clean target for next week: match the hours, keep the service tight, and aim to push batch earnings up without sacrificing tip quality.
Goals for next week (simple, realistic)
- Keep active hours in the same range if energy and schedule allow.
- Protect the tip line: quality, substitutions, communication, and clean drop offs.
- Track what times produced your best batches in LA County and double down on those windows.
- If the pending weekly adjustment hits, log it and compare week to week so you can see your real baseline.
