referralmarketingsystem: Realtors avoid a common time management mistake - 11/08/15 11:32 PM
Most books on time management teach us to focus only on activities that are important or urgent. This is the so-called “ABC priority approach” where you focus on the ‘A’ priorities first, then the ‘B’s, and finally the ‘C’s.
The ‘C’ list often includes little things, such as making a file folder to hold new client paperwork, or calling to book a follow-up dental appointment. You know – the activities that can wait until later.
The problem is, “later” never comes. And all your little tasks begin to pile up. Fast.
