How is your time blocking going?
Yesterday I attended Lisa Spenser's class on Time Management. She is a wonderful Realtor, Team Leader and killer Trainer for our Keller Williams Realty family. It was so good I wanted to share with you, our blog readers.
How do you keep track of your time?
Do you time block?
Do you have a system?
If you don't you may not realize how much time you waste in a day on personal stuff. For example, yesterday I got a haircut. When the day was over I had 3 hours of personal time, 3 hours of administrative stuff and 30 minutes of lead generation. OK, so that is one day, but is it? How does your Tuesday look? The rest of the week? Your Month? WOW next thing you know we are at New Years talking about our 2011 resolutions!! :)
Here is Lisa's way of tracking your day, week, month, year!
Go old school and use a handwritten calendar that has days. Color code what you want to do and at the end of the day update. Be honest with yourself so you get a real, true read on how productive or non-productive you are in life and business.
RED - Anything you LOVE - personal stuff, time with family, sports, relaxing
GREEN - Time with a Client
YELLOW - Paperwork, Closing a deal, Working on your files, education / training
BLUE - Lead Generation Time and Prospecting for new clients
My team is going to incorporate this into our day, I hope you find it useful.
Look for Balance between life, work, spiritual and family!!!!
Good Luck,
