Well last week I stated I was back in the saddle again. Guess what? I fell off! I allowed myself to get totally distracted for most of last week and the start of this week. I had lots of meetings, a seminar, and classes.
Today I got back up. We had a lead generation panel at work where we shared with agents about the seminar we attented last week. We talked about the importance of time blocking instead of time management. The speaker said we can't "Manage Time". Life, family and friends happen. We may have to change our schedule now and then their quote for that was "If you erase it you must replace it".
I break down my 3 hours this way
first hour is prep
2nd hour calls to sphere or prospects
3rd hour follow up calls, email etc
I am finding that I get more prep done at night between 7 and 9. I am previewing houses during the day and trying to find fsbo's
We discussed how to time block and how much work to block
3 hours of lead generation 5 days a week
3 hours of education a week ( I'm lucky my office has classes everyday including Saturdays)
3 hours a day for client appointments, contract work, inspections etc. It was suggested that these 3 hours be split up with 1 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon
3 hours a week for yourself
I've come to realize that this is going to be a longer process then I first thought. Each day I need to discipline myself. that is my biggest hurdle. I really appreciate the feedback I get from my fellow bloggers. It is my source of accountability. I was embarassed to post the last few days because I wasn't doing what I promised myself. So thanks for the words of encouragement. Debbie
