Time Blocking Will Save
Your Business
Do most of your days end with you feeling frazzled? Do you feel like you “worked” all day long but look back at the day only to feel like you hardly got anything accomplished?
It’s true when people say agents wear many hats! We have a lot on our plates. On top of helping our clients with their buying and selling needs, staying on top of real estate laws, and taking all of the required courses and classes that we have to, we also play the part of the entrepreneur in trying to figure out how to lead generate, run social media, etc. With so much on our plates, it’s easy to feel like you’ve had a busy yet unproductive day.
When we have a lot to do, we saturate the energy and quality we put into things, when we try to do it all at once. This is where time-blocking is going to save your business and your sanity. Instead of trying to juggle social media and your clients all at once, build a structure around your business as you would if you were working a regular 9 to 5. Set up an hour in the morning, before the calls start rolling in, to manage your social media posts and get something published. Set another hour for follow-ups or important calls. You can set specific times that you will handle showings or appointments.
Get out a pen and piece of paper and structure your daily routine. Not every day is going to be perfect and fit that schedule, but by trying to stick to a daily routine, you’ll be incredibly surprised by how much more production (and less stress) there is in a day. Time-blocking is sold as a course and classes to thousands for thousands. Why? Because it works!
Everyone, from kids to pets, and even us, need routine for a good day. Instead of juggling, without any direction, a million things - just write down an hourly routine for when you plan to tackle specific duties in your business. It is the best thing you will ever do for your sanity!
