Schedule a time for a private consultation

As a real estate agent, it can be difficult to effectively manage your work-life balance. Scheduling can be a real challenge, especially for agents who struggle to get through everything that they’d like to each day. I could sit down and have a 30-minute discussion about scheduling and time management, but I’d rather give you a brief breakdown.

Even though we all come from different backgrounds, from different families, and with different advantages in life, we all have one thing in common: everybody has the same 24 hours in every day. How you choose to spend that 24 hours is completely up to you, but here are my suggestions:

Realize one thing – your freedom lies within your own structure. Think of this as energy management rather than time management. Some people can get a little prickly when they think of a schedule as something that’s “telling them what to do.” Managing your energy is a totally different way to look at it.

Because your energy is always at its peak first thing in the morning, use the time before work to exercise, do your meditations or affirmations, or whatever it is that brings you your hour of power each day. That way, by the time you rock-and-roll over to work at 8:30 a.m., you’ll have time to go over your scripts and begin lead generating by 9:00 sharp.

Continue lead generating from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and follow up with your leads from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Don’t mix these two practices together. Take lunch from 11:30 to 12:15 p.m. or so. Use the rest of the afternoon to schedule your appointment times. The evening is then going to be your family time.

If you have any questions for me, give me a call or send me an email. I'd love to hear from you.
