Efficiency is often touted as the lynchpin of production.
As the number of tasks to be performed swells while the amount of time in a day dwindles, getting the most out of every minute becomes a proposition of increasing significance.
One of the things that I have found to be most helpful is to have a regular schedule with specific amounts of time allotted for routine and perfunctory tasks and set open times for appointments and showings.
I generally inform clients when I am available and try my best to keep to a semblance of “normal” business hours.
Of course, there are those times when a customer must be accommodated and if that is the case, I simply work around their schedule. But the greater the deviation, the more efficiency is lost as I scramble to complete everything that needs to be done.
And if I’m lucky, I might have a free hour or two at the end of a long day!
