We aren’t all born with perfect time management skills, but it’s easy to learn how to use your time effectively with these simple tips.
When faced with a long list of tasks, the thought of starting anything can be overwhelming and stressful. Learning how to organise tasks based on urgency of due date is an easy way to understand your workload and helps you work out what needs to be finished first, and what you can leave on the back-burner. Understand how long it takes for yourself to realistically finish a task and factor this into your prioritising method so you’re completely aware of your workload.
Scheduling your day, week or month down to the minute will most likely lead to you feeling frustrated and rushed. In real estate, plans can change last minute and meetings can be rescheduled frequently. Having a basic schedule of what you want to achieve for the day, week or month and having a calendar to visually see meetings and appointments is a realistic way to schedule your time and improve productivity.
