5 Ways to Maximize Your Morning Productivity

Bucks County Real Estate Careers Podcast with Debbie Spaulder

Do you have trouble getting your mornings off to a productive start? Here are five tips to help you get the most out of them each day.

Mornings can be a struggle for everybody, especially for those of us that have trouble organizing our schedules. Here are five tips to help you conquer and maximize your mornings:

1. Prepare the night before. If you only do one thing, spend a couple of minutes each night organizing your to-do list for the next day. It might take you 10 minutes that night but could save you hours the following day.

2. Manage your energy, not your time. Be in tune with your biological clock. I know whether I’m more productive or less productive at certain times of day, so I make sure not to do any heavy business analysis after lunch, for example, and do all of my lead generation first thing in the morning.

3. Set your intention for the day. I’m a firm believer in positive affirmations, and I think you’ll find that they can really help your outlook on the day.

4. Be grateful and positive. One thing I really enjoy doing is keeping a gratitude journal. I’ll write a positive affirmation in it as soon as I wake up, and have even gone so far as to send out an email detailing the things that I’m grateful for.

5. Focus on what’s important. Try to identify the one thing that you’re going to do today that’s the most important. This will also help you learn to say no to the things that are not worth your time because it’s the only way to get everything done.

As a bonus tip, decide to be pleasant, charming and confident today. Think about how you can be of service to other people, and help them in any way that you can. I also wanted to recommend a great book that I read recently called "The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents" by Hal Elrod. It’s full of great tips that will help you maximize your morning productivity.

Follow these tips for your morning and you’ll thank yourself for the rest of the day. If you’d like any more tips on becoming more productive or you have any questions about real estate in general, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be glad to help you!
