Today, I want to share some of my key time-management and task-management systems with you. (You know how I am all about systems!) First is my Hour of Power. It's just an hour, no more, no less, but it's incredibly powerful to get my to-do list whittled down. In this hour, I prioritize my tasks and tackle the most urgent ones. No calls, no emails, no distractions whatsoever. For more details on how … (3 comments)

organization: Task Management: The Key to Getting It All Done
- 04/03/15 03:06 AM
Task Management: The Key to Getting It All Done A real estate agent that I coach recently presented me with a beautiful weekly calendar with lead generation, client follow-up, and potential client follow-up neatly organized according to time blocks and color-coded. I complimented him on his diligence and use of color in a calendar format and then informed him that with his personality type and business, this type of planning was not in his best interest. Why? It's not in the agent's best interest because this type of planning is time management. However, the best way to handle all … (2 comments)

- 07/18/07 06:38 AM
By Denise Lones M.I.R.M., CSP AGENT QUESTION: "Denise, I want you to help me make more money." MY RESPONSE: "Great! But the first step is to help you make more time. Because without time, you cannot give great service to neither your clients nor yourself." AGENT: "But I'm willing to work hard to make the money!" MY RESPONSE: "Then you'll burn yourself out and won't be effective. Without quality of life-meaning the time to enjoy life away from your business-then you'll be a slave to your business. It's much better to have your business work for you, rather than the other way around." You shouldn't … (4 comments)
