My best tip - put EVERYTHING on the calendar - personal and business. If you don't you will wind up having no personal time and will work 'round the clock! When I say I 'live by my calendar,' I do!
I'm with you on Mondays, Andrew! Mondays are my phone days and unless someone else schedules something that is beyond my control (buyers or sellers' Closings), I try to leave it open for phone time and maybe a lunch with a client.

- Don't overbook your day.
- Grab the file before taking/returning that call if you know that's what it's about.
- Do nothing requiring urgency for anyone not already committed to you.
- You don't have to prove yourself - THEY do.
- With those who matter, overdo as if it were day one.
- Seek to astound, but don't let yourself be impressed.

Life it to short to drink cheap wine or read bad books.
This means don't work with clients who place no value on what you have to provide.

I dont like to schedule any early Monday morning appointments for the same reason. My week though is already filling up. My best tip is to not just schedule ahead, i like the night before, but leave space in between to fill in what pops up, and something always pops up
