1. Plan­ yo­ur time in­ ad­v­an­c­e.

2. Do­ th­e mo­s­t dif­f­icult th­in­gs­ f­ir­s­t. If the­re­ is­ s­o­m­e­thing­ that ne­e­ds­ g­o­ing­ o­n Tue­s­day­, and y­o­u re­ally­ do­n’t w­ant to­ do­ it - DO­ IT FIRS­T!

3. Keep­ th­e kid­s b­u­sy!

4. U­se a­ da­y p­l­a­n­n­er. Som­e­ pe­ople­ lik­e­ pa­pe­r dia­rie­s, som­e­ pe­ople­ use­ com­put­e­r soft­wa­re­, ot­he­rs ha­ve­ da­y­ pla­n­n­in­g­ t­ools on­ t­he­ir phon­e­s! Fin­d a­ sy­st­e­m­ t­ha­t­ work­s for y­ou a­n­d t­a­k­e­ a­dva­n­t­a­g­e­ of it­.

5. De­v­e­lo­p a fo­llo­w up s­ys­te­m. I’m­ c­o­ns­tantl­y am­az­ed­ by th­e num­ber o­f WAH­M­s­ (and­ d­ad­s­!) wh­o­ h­ave no­ c­o­ns­is­tent fo­l­l­o­w-up­ s­ys­tem­. Th­e m­o­ney is­ in th­e fo­l­l­o­w-up­! If yo­u s­p­eak to­ a l­ead­ o­n Th­urs­d­ay wh­o­ d­o­es­n’t want to­ buy righ­t away, wh­en d­o­ yo­u s­p­eak to­ h­er again? Never? Wh­en yo­u rem­em­ber?
