The Organized Investor - Hard Money Bankers
Organizing yourself is a lot more important than most people give credit to. Everyone has their own method of organizing their day to day. If you are an investor and you are looking at 10 homes per day with construction budgets, running leads for new properties, meeting other investors and doing other investment activities, you need to stay organized. It can't all be done in your head. The techniques you choose to use to organize yourself can be simple. The easier they are to execute and repeat the more likely the methods will become habit. Once they become habit, they will become part of you. One method I use to keep all of my appointments and to-do's organized is by using a notebook sized day planner. I have to print out a custom calendar each month and put it in the binder. From there, I write down everything I have to do. I have become so dependent on my organizer that if I lost it, I might as well not work for the day. It takes a lot of stress off trying to remember things as I write EVERYTHING down. Several other people I work with on a day to day basis have adopted this form of organization and they love it. Whatever technique you use, make sure it is simple and stick with it.
