Time Management tips for full time workers

[Sabrina C.]

Hello BP family,

I have been working on my time management, and have noticed that when the week starts all the random events end up bringing my plans down the drain.

I'm reaching out to this amazing community, so I can get some ideas from people that had made the transition from Full Time workers to Full time investors.

*What tips would you give for people that work full time?

*What must do during the week/weekend you have focused on?

*In your past experience, what have you systemized that ended up helping you improve your results?

*Is there a good time management book/website you would suggest?

----

I'm sure a lot of people can relate, and will much appreciate your feedback.
Sincerely,

Sabrina Carapia

*What tips would you give for people that work full time?

- Use a daily planner and use it daily. Take a look at the planner pad, it is a great tool and has helped me be more productive since I started using it 2 days ago

- Review the next day every evening and again in the morning.

- Wake up early! In the morning you are more focused because you have not been distracted by the full-time job events yet. Wake up and get done any invested related tasks before you go to work.

- Use your lunch break to make any phone calls / send any emails you were not able to make during the day.

*What must do during the week/weekend you have focused on?

- Not sure what you are asking here but after work I go and view properties when necessary.

- Every day after work I conduct any business needed (view projects in work, call contractors, etc).

- Weekends are much of the same but also a time to discuss more long range and strategic planning.

*In your past experience, what have you systematized that ended up helping you improve your results?

- I have systematized a lot of bookkeeping tasks by using memorized transactions (when possible).

- I have created an excel based rehab budgeting tool that we use to develop our budget when we have a property under contract. Some aspects of it our automized based on set or standard costs.

*Is there a good time management book/website you would suggest?

- Not a book, but I highly recommend the planner pad. I tried to use daily planners in the past but this was the only one I will ever use again.

I hope that helps!
