EPISODE 600: If you open your phone to check one thing and your best hours disappear before you have even started, you are not bad at time management. You are stuck in reactive mode. And for real estate investors, that pattern has a very real cost.
In this minisode ofThe Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, I'm walking you through one of the most common and costly patterns I see women investors fall into: letting the business run your day instead of the other way around.
Reactive time does not announce itself. It starts with one message, one email, one quick question, one issue. And before you know it, the work that actually matters has not moved. Again.
I break down exactly what reactive time looks like for a real estate investor, why the most capable and driven women are often the most susceptible to it, and three practical steps to shift into intentional time instead. I also share the Done by One methodology, a simple daily strategy to protect your mornings for planning, decisions, and deep work so that your most important work actually gets done before the day starts making demands. And I walk you through my personal State of the Union practice, a weekly reset I use every Saturday morning to get honest with myself about what is working and what is not in both my personal and professional life.
In this episode, you'll learn:
➡️ What reactive time actually is and how to spot when it is running your day
➡️ The honest question to ask yourself about who is actually in charge of your schedule
➡️ Three steps to shift from reactive to intentional starting tomorrow
➡️ Why most women investors cancel on themselves and how to stop
➡️ The Done by One methodology and how to use it starting this week
➡️ How to run a State of the Union meeting with yourself every week
➡️ One action step you can take as a result of this episode
If you have ever looked up at noon and realized the work that matters has not moved, this episode is for you.
