Hi, I'm Colton Lindsay with the wr Academy. And today I'm going to teach you about time management. Now, this is really, really important conversation. What I found out was early in my career. I didn't have a system of follow, so it wasn't getting business, but once I got a system to follow, I was easily selling over 20 homes a year, then 30, and then I found myself selling over 50 homes a year. However, the system I was using that helped me sell 20 homes was actually starting to burn me out at 50 70 homes a year. What I, what I realized was I felt like I was reacting to everything. And so I would start my day, um, with a list of, to do's and I'd finished my day with a list of to-dos and I never felt like I was getting anything done. I remember I was driving a 2001 Chevrolet cavalier selling 50 homes a year with his cheap suit from China.
I looked like a smack and I was still successfully selling 50 homes a year, but I get to the end of the day, I was exhausted. I was eating crappy. I was overweight. I was dehydrated. I wasn't present with my family. And what I realized was the reason I got into real estate was to make more money and have more freedom. And I was making more money, but I felt like I had even less freedom in my life. And then I hit, discovered and learned about something called a smart day and a smart day taught me how to actually manage the different routines of my life. But here's what I wanted to first get across to you is that time management is a hoax. It's a giant lie, no matter what, we all have 24 hours in a day, but actually it's about life management, understanding the different realms of our human life value spiritually, mentally, physically, socially, financially, and emotionally.
And when we can get extremely clear on those different parts and those realms of our life, we can schedule our life and actions quarterly to absolutely drive specific outcomes that we want to create in those realms and those areas of our lives and all the way we'll have more happiness and more freedom from the inside out. So I want to share with you the science behind life management, because if I ask you this question time equals what typically you've been programmed to answer that time equals money. And as in my belief, my opinion that can only come from my experience is it's a lie I believe. And what I teach in the W2 Academy is time equals emotion, energy in motion. And when we take a look at that, we have three major parts of our day. We have a morning, a day and an evening.
So we'll want to look at is what emotional experience we want in the morning. The day in the evening, let's take a look at our day, for example, in the day, that's what we're doing. The activities of driving business and making money and serving our clients. Now, what most agents do is they get all of these mixed up. So they wake up to text messaging emails. They go to bed with text messages and emails, and it's all kind of a blur. And so they're feeling chaotic or overwhelmed or irritated or impatient, or if you're a newer agent, you might even be feeling self-doubt worried or even disappointed in where your results are. And then that creates a negative space to live in. That's not why you got into real estate, you got in for more money and more freedom in your life. So we take a look at the day. What are the emotional experience you want in the day.
