If you insist on working this weekend, don’t shoot yourself in the foot.
By JC Kiadii, Internet Marketing for Mortgage Professionals
It’s a beautiful Saturday. People are enjoying themselves going to games, picking pumpkins, doing whatever it is that sane people do on the weekends. And where are you? Stuck in your mortgage office.
Fast forward to Monday. You’ve spent all weekend trying your best to get “caught up” to no avail. Not only do you feel as if nothing is accomplished, now you have to deal with Monday morning madness. You sacrificed your precious weekend for nothing.
Familiar?
If it does, my first piece of advice is to hire a virtual assistant to help you with your mortgage business. This one step will free you up to focus on your high value, high payoff tasks.
Here’s my other piece of advice. If you must work, focus on one, and only one, task this weekend. Once you’ve completed that task, give yourself permission to get out of the office! If you are finding it hard to pick one task, remember that working on the weekend isn’t working for you anyway. By completing one task, you will put yourself ahead of the curve on Monday morning.
Here’s an example.
I, too, am working today (despite the fact that this is my favorite time of the year and there are so many fun things to do in Atlanta).
I am working on keyword rich and persuasive content for a client’s mortgage website. My one task is to outline the content for all of his pages and send it to my content writer so that she can have it first thing Monday morning. It’s a win, win situation. I can be creative on a Saturday, while things are quiet, and have the draft pages back from her on Wednesday to review and edit. I will not work on Sunday, so I start the week rested and refreshed.
Do you work on the weekends? How’s that workin’ for ya?
