Four productivity tips to help your real estate business flourish.
Real estate is a productivity-obsessed industry, with agents relying on their schedules and having no one to hold them accountable. To ensure you’re being productive with your time each day, here are my four tips that can help you master your productivity:
1. Don’t let perfection be your poison. When trying new tasks or challenges, don’t aim for perfection right away. Focus on the 80% and improve on the other 20% later. Perfection can be a huge time sinker, and it will prevent you from ever finishing a project.
2. Don’t focus on too many things at the same time. Everyone likes to be a multitasker, but interruptions are the biggest enemy to productivity. Building a business is like laying a brick wall. You have to lay one brick at a time to create a strong foundation. Focus on getting that one task right before you move on to the next.
“Delegate tasks that are not income generating to other competent team members.”
3. Keep your to-do list grounded in reality with the three Ds. Do, delegate, and defer. Do the things that can only be handled by you directly, delegate tasks that are not income generating to other competent team members, and defer future tasks that will only stress you out if they linger on today’s list.
4. Use templates carefully. Find templates you can tweak, make them your own, and leverage them as often as you need.
