Another week is about to begin and it always feels like there is less time in the day to do take care of things. And we lost an hour last night! Couldn't be much harder could it?
I'm happy to say that the end of last week rewarded me with new licensing and setup with the new company! It was overdue and long awaited, but its finally happened! Back to work I go and this time I'm hoping to continue my path of connections and two loans a month with my eyes on moving towards 3-4 a month. My new company is much better than the last one and provides some great tools to enhance my business and up my production.
Here are a couple tips for planning the week ahead to remain productive!
1. Task list items. If the task is there for two days or more, your making a mental note that its not that important and you probably don't need to do it right away.
2. Be realistic in terms of what your working towards accomplishing. Start small and work your way up. Limit your task list to 10 or less items. If you want to add more you need to accomplish more tasks. This keeps you focused and feeling accomplished throughout the day.
3. Take breaks every hour and half regardless of if you need it or not. The average attention span is about 50 to 60 minutes of actual work. If your going over, you slowly become less productive and can burn out fast. Take a break, go for a walk, call a client you enjoy working with, go try a new place for lunch. Make that break feel like you got away to focus on you!
4. Tackle the hardest things first! This makes a huge difference. If you have to make a bad call to a client do it! You wont have to fret about it or worry what the client will think. Hardest things accomplish first give you a big boost in confidence for the rest of the day. You can do it!
5. Make it fun! Work can be monotonous at times. Make it a game to keep things interesting. How many calls can I make in an hour? How many people can I talk to in an hour? How many new clients can I pick up today? If its fun you'll be more likely to complete the task while doing your job at the same time!
Have a great week guys! See you in the rain!
