I agree with almost this entire post except where you say spending anymore than 1 hour on social media falls in the 80% category. I think that depends on what you are doing on there. If you are making new friends, getting new followers or contributing in some way then I would say that falls under th 20% category. But if you are just playing Farmville for 5 hours then I would happen to agree with you.
Not only that but after writing a good post, sharing it, and sharing other content you are likely over that 1 hour already. Spending all day on social media is definitely a waste but I think you can spend a valuable couple hours a day on there. As long as you are being productive and not just playing games.

Jonathan…. thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. Sharing with your audience would also be much appreciated. I am going to download the Klok program you mentioned the other day to check it out (waiting to hear if it works ok with Windows 7 before downloading it).

You know Drew, I've been thinking a lot about time management lately and this post is right on target.
Most agents spend their day doing busy work because they are afraid to do the work that really matter, the 20% work. Sometimes because it's too hard, other time because they're afraid to fail and in some extreme cases because they're lazy.
The truth is, if you want to succeed in Real Estate, or any business you have to plan, prioritize, and take action.
Great post, I think I'll share this one to the masses
