As they do the items assigned for today, they mark them off.  If they are ambitious then I allow them to work through other items on the chart so they won't have to do them later on in the week.  However, they must have the days work done first before doing that.  Usually once they get the days work done, they decide to not go back and finish any more for the week.  But the option is available to them.
