Spring is a great time to let go of bad habits and start fresh:
especially if you didn't follow your New Year's Resolutions! 
1. EXERCISE
When nothing is going right squeeze in a workout. Go for a walk, ride a bike, swim or join a gym. Exercise improves your mood by releasing endorphins in your brain triggering a feeling of euphoria. This is a great stress reliever.
2. READ AND STUDY MORE
Become better educated on your market. Read REALTOR.org or review your local association statistics, to keep up with resources and the changing marketplace.
3. EAT YOUR BIG FISH FIRST
Don't put off problems with clients or other agents. Tackle them first thing in your day so you don't intensify or prolong the stressful situation.
4. USE CHECKLISTS
This will help streamline your day and make you more productive. Use your blackberry or your email to make to do lists. Don't try to memorize everything. Once your business grows it will be easier to delegate with a list anyway.
5. ASK FOR FEEDBACK
Survey your past customers about their experience with you. This will help you offer more services or fix problems you didn't even know existed. You can use a Web based survey provider such as Survey Monkey. Consider a small incentive for completing it promptly. Doing this helps find trouble spots and fix them before your customers tell someone else. You would rather them say there was a problem but it was fixed !
