Eliminating That Overwhelmed Feeling

Overwhelmed. Often, that is how I feel when I hear about one more system, process or tech that I need to implement for my real estate business. My mind groans because I haven't implemented the last 3 suggestions from the previous company sales meetings.

This week, do the opposite. Give yourself permission to eliminate something. We tend to hold on to certain tasks because we have always done things that way, we are fearful of what will happen if we stop and we are uncomfortable when we don’t feel busy. So we fill our days with our regular to do lists without really evaluating what activities are really the most valuable. In reality, it is very healthy to regularly evaluate and eliminate your least valuable tasks to avoid the overwhelming feeling cause by all the clutter of “to dos”.

Lisa Bodell, author of “Why Simple Works” offers this strategy.

  1. Define “Valuable Work” for yourself and your business

  2. Write down 20 or more of your most common tasks or activities

  3. Circle only the task and activities that match your definition

  4. Give yourself permission to eliminate (or delegate) the items you did not circle

This creates a less cluttered calendar, a less overwhelmed mind plus the time and freedom to focus on what’s most valuable. One of our primary focuses at RE/MAX GR is on helping you define your most valuable work and maximize the time you can spend on it. The result is a more enjoyable and profitable business along with a more balanced and abundant life. If that matches your goals tell us more about your business in this short questionnaire and we’ll send you some additional resources.
