In 2014, Cliff Lewis<\/a> sold 90 properties around the Allentown-Bethlehem area of eastern Pennsylvania. He was overstretched and never home. As a new father, he struggled to balance long work weeks and wanting to be with his twin infant sons. His phone and computer were always vying for his attention. The last time he\u2019d taken a day off? He couldn\u2019t remember. But he knew this lifestyle wasn\u2019t going to work long-term.<\/p>\n

The next year, Lewis sold 147 houses. He enjoyed his work and wasn\u2019t suffering burnout. He took his family on vacation. He spent twice as much time at home and his overall quality of life went up.<\/p>\n

What changed? How did Lewis grow his business by 63% while also freeing up his personal time?<\/p>\n

He started time-blocking.<\/p>\n

Developing a time-blocking template allowed Lewis to realize how much time he was wasting each day. With his system, \u201cyou\u2019re either working or not working, and there is never that half-ass,\u201d Lewis says, referring to periods of time when he was busy<\/i>, but he wasn\u2019t being productive<\/i>. Without a time-blocking system in place, \u201cYou don\u2019t realize how much time you can burn not being productive about things that actually make you money.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you like the idea of growing your business while also having more time for family and fun, read on for a look at the time-blocking template Lewis uses and his system for getting the most productivity out of himself and his team. Lastly, don\u2019t miss his advice for how to apply it in your real estate career.<\/p>\n
