daily tasks

    Spring isn’t just for deep-cleaning your home—it’s also the perfect time to declutter your business and refocus on what truly drives success. A streamlined schedule and a clear mindset can boost productivity, reduce stress, and create more time for high-value activities.

    Here’s how to do it:

    Audit Your Daily Tasks

    Start by listing everything you do in a typical workweek. Identify time-wasters—tasks that don’t generate leads, strengthen client relationships, or grow your business. Delegate, automate or eliminate anything that doesn’t move the needle.

    Clean Up Your CRM & Contact List

    Your database is one of your most significant assets, but it’s only valuable if it’s well-maintained. Update outdated contacts, remove inactive leads, and re-engage past clients with a friendly email or call. A clean CRM keeps your outreach efficient and effective.

    Streamline Your Marketing Efforts

    Are you spreading yourself too thin with social media, emails, and ads? Focus on the platforms that bring the best results. Schedule posts in advance, refresh outdated branding, and optimize your website for better lead conversion.

    Set Clear Priorities for Q2

    What are your top three business goals for the next 90 days? Write them down and break them into actionable steps. Clarity leads to progress, whether increasing listings, improving client retention, or enhancing productivity.

    Establish Boundaries & Work-Life Balance

    A cluttered schedule often leads to burnout. Set precise working hours, eliminate unnecessary meetings, and create space for personal time. The more balanced you are, the better you’ll perform.

    By decluttering your schedule and focusing on what truly matters, you’ll head into spring with renewed energy and a business primed for growth.

      If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to be more productive this spring, look at two tips we’ve rounded up from productivity experts. We think they’re a good place to start.

      1. Quit focusing on the wrong stuff

      Which tasks that you perform in your workday produce the best results? Make a list. Those tasks should be your focus and the rest should either be discarded or handed off to someone else.

      They simply aren’t worth your time and performing them makes you less productive.

      If you need help figuring out what to keep and what goes, “Consider tracking everything you do, the time it takes to complete each task, and the results,” suggests CamMi Pham, at medium.com.

      “Then go back, assess your list to see what did (or didn’t) prove fruitful, and consider your findings to optimize for future tasks.”

      2. Eliminate distractions

      Many of us suffer from distraction-itis. For me, it’s the cute little miniature pinscher that sits on her own chair next to my desk. What a time stealer!

      For many, it’s the phone. The average mobile phone user picks up his/her phone 1,500 times per week, which works out to an estimated 3 hours and 16 minutes daily. (crossrivertherapy.com)

      When eliminating distractions, which is critical to becoming more productive, it isn’t enough to just put the phone in another room. It will still ring when you get a call and chime to notify you of texts and voicemail.

      Turn it off. The same goes for email on your laptop or desktop. Create a dedicated time to check the phone for messages, to check your email, and to attend to whatever else commonly distracts you during the workday.

      Why?

      “There is clearly a direct connection between the various distractions at work and productivity,” according to Juliet Dreamhunter, a certified goal success coach.

      And the reason we’re so easily distracted? Apparently, our attention span is 8.25 seconds. That’s less than a goldfish’s at 9 seconds, according to Steven Zauderer, CEO of CrossRiverTherapy.

      If it’s an irresistible pup, your kids, or coworkers, use those 8.25 seconds wisely and figure out how to minimize distractions and work at your full capacity.

      May this be the year your productivity soars!
