More clients than you can handle? Drowning in spreadsheets? Never feel like you’re on top of everything?

It’s time to take a deep breath—and master your time management. It’s great that business is booming, but not so great that it’s coming at the cost of your sanity. Here are three top tips to help you save time and get your life back. 

Managing client relationships speedily with software

Attracting a steady stream of clients is a big achievement. But, if you don’t manage them efficiently, you could lose leads—or generate unhappy reviews, which can hurt your reputation.

One way to speed things up is with high-tech software. A single program can perform an array of tasks, including:

• Scheduling appointments;
  • Automating email, including replying to questions about listed properties;
  • Sorting out your prospects, so you can find their details at the tap of a finger;
  • Tracking data, such as clients’ behaviour on your website; and
  • Updating sales details.

Prioritising with proper ‘to-do’ lists

You’ve no doubt made a million to-do lists. But, how often have they worked, as in, really worked?

There are to-do lists, and then there are to-do lists. 

First, you need daily, weekly, and monthly lists. Second, each list should be ordered according to priority, to ensure you get the most important tasks done first. Third, every item should be labelled with a time, date, and place—as to when you’re going to conquer it.
