The weather is only getting better outside and things are starting to look up. But, it is still too early to go about your usual activities. Your favorite retail spots are still closed, a lunch with potential clients is out of the question and you can’t really go watch the latest movie you were keen on seeing. Why not make use of this time and be more productive. This does not mean you have to wake up at 7 am, get your coffee, and start working, everyday. You can have your own routine and this could just work for you. Here are a few ideas to pass time and be productive as a self-starter real estate agent.
1. Start your Day at the Same Time Everyday
If you wake up at 7 am on Monday, then noon on Tuesday and then 11 am on Wednesday, you are putting your body through alot. You will be out of focus, unable to get started on pending items, and you could miss out on alot. Start your day the way you have always been used to, before you were on lockdown mode. If that is 10 am or 11 am, then so be it. At least your are carrying on about your daily activities and responsibilities as you always were.
2. Compose a List
Whether it is braving out into the world and getting groceries, finally cleaning your workspace, vaccuming, or even getting to those prospects you’ve been meaning to call. Get it done! That doesn’t mean you need to do everything all in one day. You will wear yourself out. Instead, spread everything out. That includes your database too. If you need to call 10 of your contacts, space everything out within the span of a few days. This way you will be more organized, disciplined, and not overwhelmed.
3. Go on Social Media
We’ve been preaching this time and time again. Stay active on your social media. Your contacts have more time than ever right now. Take advantage of this time by connecting with them online. Post some interesting content on your Facebook or Instagram. You can record yourself and make 30-second videos with messages to your followers. Always remember to interact with your followers by responding to comments, answering your direct messages and commenting on all reviews, not just the negative ones. If you are stuck and do not know what content to post, try an automated social media posting tool. This will help you significantly!
4. Attend some Free Webinars
If you are like most of us, you’ve pretty much done everything in the book to entertain yourself. Whether you have been catching up on reading, some DIYs, cooking, cleaning and working out, you’ve been doing the whole nine yards. Keep it up! If you are looking for a change of scenery and would like to improve your real estate business, try enrolling in some free webinars.
