Now may be a good time to take inventory of your time managment methods. 

Here are 10 ideas on how agents can make make good use of their time.  What works for you?.. share in comments below.

  1. Set clear goals and prioritize tasks: Identify the most important tasks that need to be done and prioritize them in your schedule.

  2. Use a calendar: Use a calendar to schedule appointments, meetings, and deadlines. This will help you stay organized and on track.

  3. Create a to-do list: Make a list of tasks that need to be done and check them off as you complete them. This will help you stay focused and motivated.

  4. Use technology: Utilize technology such as a CRM software, to automate repetitive tasks and keep track of leads, clients and properties.

  5. Learn to say no: Be selective about the tasks you take on and the meetings you attend. Saying no to non-essential tasks and meetings will free up time for the things that are truly important.

  6. Take breaks: It's important to take breaks and step away from work to clear your mind and recharge.

  7. Delegate tasks: Don't try to do everything yourself. Delegate tasks to other team members or hire an assistant to help with administrative tasks.

  8. Make time for prospecting: Make time to prospect for new clients and leads, as it will pay off in the long run.

  9. Follow up with clients: Follow up with clients regularly to stay top of mind and maintain a good relationship.

  10. Continuously improve and evaluate: Regularly review your time management strategies and make adjustments as needed to improve efficiency and productivity.

Hello Steve - learning to say NO is important.  It can lead to the Next Opportunity.  And that can make a big difference.

Steve, I know I make a list to ensure I get the things done that are priorities, everything else can come after these tasks are completed.

Pretty sure this is why I still use a Franklin Day planner.  Writing down a list and checking things off makes me more effective.  Especially since I can push things out to other days where I'm not so busy and still get more done.
