"Back in 2019, when I joined my brokerage firm, my managing broker shared with me the philosophy of being productive, not busy. I thought that was amazing advice, and it has stuck with me. Whenever anyone asks me if I am busy, I say, "No! I am productive." Being 'productive' has a positive connotation. It is about working smarter, and it encourages the mind to get tasks accomplished."
"I start almost every day with a to-do list. I jot down the tasks I want to accomplish that day, and I get the pleasure of checking them off my list. When thinking about the order to complete the tasks, I do so in many ways. First, I prioritize the tasks specific to the time promises I have made. If I have informed a client or coworker that I would complete a task by a specific time,"
Being productive focuses on working smarter rather than merely appearing busy. Start each day with a to-do list and enjoy checking completed items off. Prioritize tasks tied to promised deadlines first, then clear quick wins to keep momentum and unblock others. Schedule larger, deeper tasks when timing will not conflict with high-value outreach periods. Develop annual business plans to define desired work and use those plans to identify misaligned opportunities. When opportunities do not fit, decline politely and, when appropriate, refer the person to someone better suited.
