![]() Do you remember this lady? She was my all-time hero when I was 5 years old. I remember running around the living room, aluminum foil wrapped around my wrists, jump rope at my side, hopping onto the sofa, dodging imaginary bullets, and thinking I would save the world.
Wonder Woman was my idea of the perfect woman- the ultimate description of what it truly means to be feminine. She was smart, sexy, demure, professional, and then the ultimate bad-ass when trouble started brewing. Of course, what else would you expect from an Amazon Warrior Princess? Wonder Woman would always have it together! She would never forget where she left the keys to her invisible plane, never go through the drive-through at McDonalds, never skip her work-out because she slept late, and never fail to catch the bad guy because well... frankly it was "that time of the month". Wonder Woman was always at the top of her game. She never failed and never let anyone down. So how do WE do that? How do WE manage to be like Wonder Woman while juggling the responsibilities of real estate career and family and somehow still have time to look and feel and be so perfectly feminine? |
Great post, Angela. I love my Mac but have yet to get an ipad...expect I will soon. I think a lot of us reading your blog post would LOVE To hear some of the apps you have found so useful! Will you add that info in a comment? Thanks!
Best,
Caroline
Hi Caroline, Thanks for your comment! :-)My absolute, can't imagine life without them, favorites for taming the "chaos-cravin' crazies" are penultimate and remember the milk. I use them every day for every thing... literally. For agents, Cartavi is an awesome one. Penultimate got rid of all my notebooks and remember the milk got rid of all my lists. I use them both for work, personal stuff, the kids, just everything and that iPad goes with me everywhere! :-)
My short sale updates table on my website. It serves a dual purpose. It tracks what goes on in my short sales so I know what's happening -- because I can't possibly remember every single transaction -- and it passes on updates to the public, the buyer's agent and the buyers, including my very own sellers, so I don't have to physically talk to anybody about it. Which frees up more of my time to actually a) do my job and b) look for more business.
Psst. Super women cannot, I don't care what you say, run in those boots. Julie Newmar couldn't really do it, either.
I love your post... my Dad loved Wonder Woman... but I was more of "I Dream of Jeannie" girl. :-)
I try to get the things done early in the day that I dislike the most. Then I treat myself when they are done-- by doing the things I 'LIKE' to do! Have a great week! Kathy
Great post Angela, loved the Wonder Woman analogy, tablets and smart phones have helped us all to become more like superheros.
No one mentioned getting an admin and letting her or him be your co-Super Hero! ;) That frees you up to do the important tasks like generating leads.
Great ideas everybody!!! Thanks for your wonderful responses :-)
Paige: I second the iphone calendar scheduling. I do that one too!
Elizabeth: that sounds like a fantastic tool! I don't think I could run in those boots either ;-)
Lynn: Absolutely! All good organization has to be habitual or you might as well not do it. Forming good habits is key!
Kathy: a great way to end procrastination!
Bob: Thanks for the comment! Really glad you liked it :-)
Lynda: Delegation is a great way to fix the business side of organization! Once you get home though... whole 'nother story ;-)
I am going to watch this post to read all the responses! I need help, I need 2 of me!!! I just got an iphone and now I know that I NEED the ipad! pippa
Sounds like the iPad would work great. I've listened to some of Krisstina Wise's seminars and heard of Cartavi. Her system sounds awesome.
Hi Angela, for us it is not a "thing", it is habits. The habits of time blocking and prospecting every day.
For me it is trying to always be active instead of re-active. If you stay on top of tasks and don't just respond to crises, your life will be much more controlled.
Angela - As always, a well thought out and well written post. Love the wonder woman analogy. I watched that show when I was a kid too, but for obviously different reasons... LOL
Getting a personal virtual assistant was a big help. We use a lot of industry stuff like Top Producer, but either I don't know it well enough or it is really not a well designed program.
