Top Personal Scheduling Tools for Realtors
Scheduling apps aren’t just for showings and professional activities. Real estate agents are constantly juggling multiple appointments, listings, meetings, and personal obligations. Here are a few scheduling tools that can keep your personal schedules under control, too.
Focus Keeper Pomodoro App
If you’ve never heard of the Pomodoro Technique, let us explain. This technique is a time management system developed by Francisco Cirillo in the late 1980s. He named the method “Pomodoro,” meaning tomato in Italian, after his tomato-shaped timer.
The technique encourages small bursts of productivity (25 minutes) followed by short non-work-related breaks (5 minutes each, with 20-30-minute breaks after four rounds). Of course, every person can tailor this technique to their specific jobs or tasks.
If you want to try this technique, especially as you’re sitting down to write contracts, focus on marketing, or update your website, the Focus Keeper app is the best way to track your time. Focus Keeper lets you schedule tasks, set the timer, and increase your productivity. Plus, you’ll feel less overwhelmed at the end of the day. Give it a try!
Calendly
Calendly is a scheduling tool and appointment booking app that works in nearly every professional setting, including real estate. Skip the back-and-forth emails and text messages, and schedule directly through the app. The interface is beautiful, and the app automatically sends reminders to everyone scheduled for the appointment.
You can access the app from a mobile device or your computer, and personalization is easy. Add your availability and your contact information to the app, and Calendly does the rest. It also syncs your appointments to your other calendars, including Google, GoToMeeting, Zapier, and more. An easy, all-in-one solution that keeps your busy life a little more streamlined.
Timely App
Do you know how much time you’re spending on work tasks every day? No, do you really know? The Timely App by Memory AI will help you keep track.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and burned out by the never-ending task list you have each day, the Timely App can help you better understand where and when you are spending your time. It tracks the time you spend in each app, giving you a minute-by-minute account of your day.
You can then use this information to assess how you’re spending your time, where you can make changes, and even track the dollar values for each portion of your day. When you better understand how you’re spending your time, you can set more realistic goals for your business and home life.
The app works with both desktop and mobile devices and can sync with other time tracking apps, too. You can also manage your entire team’s tasks, ensuring productivity stays at its highest.
