4 Ways To Create More Time

“There’s not enough hours in the day”

An often heard excuse for not getting on with some new project whether it be investing in real estate or getting a home ready to list.

With thanks to Shae Bynes at biggerpockets.com here are 4 ways to create those extra hours in the day:

“#1: Turn off the television.

There is nothing else that has provided me with more time than turning off the television at the beginning of this year.  Sure, use your DVR to record your favorite shows and watch them later, but be selective with the recording too because you just won’t have the time to watch ALL of it even if it is at a later time/date!

#2: Make a priority list every evening before going to sleep

Not only does this clear your head so you can sleep peacefully (plus let your subconscious do a little work while you sleep), but it also allows you to begin your days knowing precisely want needs to be done.   My priority list is only 6 items long and frankly sometimes I don’t always get the 6 items done – maybe only 4 or 5, but the list is incredibly helpful and a major timesaver.  Whenever I forget to do this and try to do it in the morning, it throws me off and typically wastes up to an hour of time that I could’ve spent accomplishing something.

#3: Ignore your cell phone (or better yet, turn it off!)

Phones are highly disruptive. If you’re in the middle of accomplishing items on your priority list and the phone rings, ignore it!  This is why voicemail was invented.  You can call the person back once you’re ready – it will be ok, trust me!

#4: Wake up earlier – between 5:00 or 6:00 AM

Simply stated, it is absolutely amazing how much can be done in the quiet time before everyone else in the house wakes up.  Try it for a week and you will see a noticeable difference in productivity and stick with it.”
