   Money’s tight. While look­ing for ways to reduce expenses, I decided months ago (actu­ally closer to a year ago) to stop using our extra refrig­er­a­tor in the garage. Although this would seem like a sim­ple task, it wasn’t because it started a chain of events. In order to empty that refrig­er­a­tor, I needed to clean out our main refrig­er­a­tor. In order to empty the garage refrigerator’s freezer com­part­ment, I needed to defrost and clean out our main freezer. I was inspired to accom­plish this by noon. Although I worked hard, noon came and went; I wanted to quit! How­ever, I kept work­ing at it and fin­ished — what an accom­plish­ment. I feel so good about get­ting that huge chore DONE. Hop­ing it’ll make a big dif­fer­ence on our elec­tric bill.

   Tomor­row by noon, I will have attended 2 webi­nars, set up an appoint­ment to pick up paper­work from a cus­tomer, changed my NMLS to my new bro­ker, and ordered new busi­ness cards.
   By noon on Thurs­day, I will have attended a webi­nar, com­pleted some spe­cific paper­work, and attended an office meet­ing.
   By noon on Fri­day, I will have explored and cre­ated sam­ple EDGE reports, and will have cre­ated a list of Real­tors to contact.

     Awe­some Julia. That power of focus, com­bined with a tar­geted time­frame (By Noon), will make you an exe­cu­tion machine! Keep up the good work!

   You can even expand on the idea and use the 80/20 rule.…80% of your earn­ings come from 20% of what you do every day. So, pick your 20% that will bring you closer to clos­ings and choose those for your “by noon” items. I agree with you Bill, this could be life chang­ing.
   Thanks for your awe­some blog Bill!

   recycleyourfashions.com We have been brows­ing on the inter­net greater than a few hrs these days, nev­er­the­less I by no means found any excit­ing report like yours. It really is rather value suf­fi­cient for me. In my opin­ion, if all site own­ers and blog­gers man­u­fac­tured excel­lent sub­ject mate­r­ial when you did, the web is going to be sig­nif­i­cantly a lot more prac­ti­cal than in the past ear­lier than.Recycle Your Fashions
