Revisit Your Timeblock! (Or Make One!!)

Happy Monday, Friends!

In anticipation to my move to Katy in 2 weeks, it was time to change my calendar time block. Get to work earlier to beat traffic, workout at the office building gym :) , and get the day GOING! I will leave earlier as well, to pick up the kids from school. So I sat at my computer for an hour last week, and basically re-arranged my entire life. It was liberating! I got to tweak the things that were not working, keep the things that were, and I can't wait to begin my new schedule.

Is it time to revisit your time block? Do you have one? Maybe it's a good time to start! Hint: put the personal stuff in FIRST! Then the mandatory meetings, etc...and then block times for when YOU prefer to see clients, have your proactive call time, do paperwork, have late nights...remember we are in control of our day! Theme days help as well. Mondays for me are admin/office in the morning, then out for lunch with a referral partner, builder sales office visits, and then 2 hours of proactive calling to new and current referral partners.  If 80% of the time you can stick to a time block, then you will be able to make 'exceptions' when that relo buyer calls, or the contract has to be written, or the prime caller just HAS to see your company's listing. Try it for one week! I promise you will love it. 

In the markets:

After all of last week's anticipated news from the FED this week ......nothing. In turn, the rates were basically flat. Read more about the markets here, in my Mortgage Time Newsletter!
