How to Time Block (Video)

Topics to consider in your time blocking:

- Get to know the market – driving or online or property drips to yourself for a certain area

- Making prospecting calls – Divide into segments or groups

- Making Client calls – you still have to update the clients you have!

- Transaction Management

- Writing content – blogs, videos, etc.

- Creative thinking time (might be same as the above)

Other Tips:

Mornings: Build out your morning plan

– for me, no phone until I’ve been up, gotten coffee, stretch/yoga, silent time/prayer time and some days a run before I even look at phone or email. I highly recommend it, even if only certain days.

Adjust: Keep notes as you go along about things you find yourself doing 

– this will help you pick new topics and items you want to time block for. Making this work is a PROCESS, not something you just figure out up front. If you go into it knowing it will take you 6 months to a year to get good at it, you’ll have more success and really develop a lasting habit of blocking a prioritizing.

Be Flexible: Remember to leave reasonable gaps in between blocks for “stuff” that inevitably happens.

Be Reasonable: Don’t get so detailed that you don’t want to follow your plan and don’t be so loose that you can justify what you did as a certain topic.

Color Code: Use color coding for certain event types!
