How Productive Are You?

It can be hard to be really productive in real estate on many days because so often your schedule is dictated by the needs of your clients. While you must allow this to some disagree if you want to be successful, you must figure out a way to be productive and still be responsive to your clients at the same time.

The first key to having a productive day is to make a plan for it. Spend the last 15 minutes of each day planning for the next day. Make your to do list of items that must get done. This can be phone calls to make, emails to send, paperwork that needs to be completed, any appointments you have scheduled, events or meetings to attend and anything else that you must accomplish.

Just How Productive Do You Think You Are?

Once you have made your to do list for the next day, take the time to schedule the different items you need to complete at different times of the day. Make sure to include times for daily activities such as emails, following up on active contracts and listings, etc. It is also a good idea to leave open windows of time to respond to the things that pop up once the day starts.

The open blocks of time will allow you the opportunity to show a house to someone that calls from a sign or work on a listing presentation for a lead that calls and wants to meet with you about selling their home. Real estate is a business that makes it really hard to plan for because there are so many circumstances that require you to respond immediately and can’t wait  so it is very important to leave time for the unexpected each day.

Start 2019 Off Right….Get your real estate planner today by visiting the 90 Day Real Estate Action Planner – use the COUPON CODE: PLAN18 to get your discount. 

On your daily schedule, make sure to include time each day to plan the next day and time for a lunch or dinner break if you are working late in the day. You should also include any personal commitments you have so that you don’t overlook them when you are planning your day. Personal appointments are just as important as your business engagements.

The biggest reason planning your day will allow you to be more productive is because it will help you block your time into chunks and keep you from jumping around from one task to another frequently while not finishing anything. When you are working on something, you don’t have to answer every phone call and return every email immediately. Emails and phone calls should be returned in chunks for optimum productivity. While answering phone calls can be really important and allow you to make money, they can be distracting as well. Schedule mid-morning and mid-afternoon blocks of time for phone calls and emails to be returned so that people won’t have to wait more than a few hours before they hear from you.

The same concepts apply during the evening. It can be really easy to take your work home with you and therefore keep you from getting the mental break you need. Respond to calls and emails once each evening and don’t feel like you have to respond constantly. While there will be things that require an immediate response and you should be attentive to those, every call or email is not an emergency. Giving yourself a break from these items will allow you to refresh and be ready to start again the next day with a positive attitude.

In today’s technology-driven world, there are many apps that can help you manage your tasks while boosting your productivity. Read about the ones I think you shouldn’t run a business without here. Remember increased productivity will either allow you to have time for other things without being so overwhelmed or allow you to use that time to make more money.
