Limit Your Time Wasters

A very insightful business blog, Criteria For Success, recently posted an article on six time wasters. I found this very poignant and all six can be found in the real estate industry.

What we have to remember is that, simply put, time is money. In a profession where all salespeople are compensated on commission, the key to success is time management. We spend 20 percent of our time doing 80 percent of our work. That means we must identify which activities carry a higher impact and work to focus our attention on those.

It’s one thing to create long and short term goals, it’s another to block off time to ensure they are fulfilled. With strict deadlines, we tend to become more productive, protect our time and eliminate unwanted interruptions.

Ask yourself this: What if we treated every day like it was the day before vacation? That is the most productive day of the year for many reasons. So go out there and treat every day like there’s a vacation on the horizon. You’ll be amazed at your productivity.

We’ll see you home.
