You may have heard the adage, 'Never handle a piece of paper more than once.' My advice is to live by that. If you get email you need to respond to, reply back that day. If you get a form to fill out in your mailbox, do it and mail back immediately. The point is, by putting off these tasks, you are increasing your to-do pile which can bury you after awhile. By keeping up, you keep your head above water. Try it. Don't procrastinate.
Realtors handle a lot of paperwork so it is essential that we do our best not to get overwhelmed. And a extra benefit is that it is nice to see your desktop sometimes!
Reminder - A Timesaver for Realtors!

TERESA - I actually haven't heard the tip about never handling a piece of paper twice, but I can see where it would be a tremendous time saver. Thanks for the tip.
