You're busy. You've got a lot going on, and it's easy to feel like you're spread too thin. But there are only so many hours in a day, and if you're not careful, those hours will slip away without accomplishing what needs doing--leaving you feeling even more stressed out and overwhelmed than before.

If this sounds familiar, take heart: there are ways for Realtors who want to be more productive (and less frazzled) than ever before. Here are six tips for unlocking your optimum productivity as a Realtor:

#1 Learn how to say no to the right things at the right time.

 Before accepting any new tasks or projects into your life or business plan, ask yourself: "Is this something that really needs my attention right now?" If so, do it! If not... well... then maybe it doesn't need my attention at all?

#2 Say Goodbye to Multitasking

A lot of people think they can multitask, but the truth is that it's not a good idea.

A study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that "people who are regularly bombarded with multiple streams of electronic information cannot pay attention, recall information or switch from one job to another as well as those who concentrate on one task at a time." In other words: multitasking causes you to lose focus and makes you less productive.

In fact, researchers say that even our brains have evolved over time so we're better suited for single-tasking than multi-tasking--meaning we're not built for it at all! So if you want your brain functioning at its peak potential (and don't want to risk losing any IQ points), then try focusing on one thing at a time instead of trying to do several things at once--you'll find yourself more productive over time without even realizing it!

#3 Practice a Little Self Care

It's important to take care of yourself, and it's not selfish. Self care isn't just about the occasional massage or pedicure--though that can be nice! Self care is something you do every day to ensure that you're operating at your best. And if you're not taking time out of your day to practice it, then consider this: Your clients are paying YOU money so they can enjoy the benefits of living in their dream home--and if they don't have one yet? They'll be paying YOU money so that YOU can help them find it!

That means there's no excuse for not prioritizing self care as part of your Realtor job description. There are plenty of ways for Realtors (or any other type of professional) to practice good self-care habits at work without spending any extra time away from clients or coworkers...

#4 Be Proactive

You can also be proactive in your daily life. It's not just about work, but about being an active part of the community and making a difference. You can volunteer at a nonprofit organization or take on other activities that help others or benefit society as a whole.

Being proactive doesn't have to mean starting your own business or even taking on extra responsibilities at work--it simply means thinking ahead, keeping yourself busy with positive activities and putting yourself out there so that opportunities will come your way!

#5 Keep a Healthy Routine

You've probably heard the old adage that it takes 21 days to form a habit. But what if you don't want to be stuck in a routine? What if you're looking for something more flexible, something that fits into your life rather than forcing its way into it?

Well, first off: no need to panic--that's actually not such an unusual request! There are plenty of ways to make sure that your habits align with what works best for you and your lifestyle without feeling like they're constricting or stifling your creativity or freedom of movement. It all starts with understanding why having healthy routines is so important...

#6 Eat Well and Get Enough Sleep

You are what you eat. We all know that, but it's worth repeating because eating well is so important for your health and productivity.

• Eat breakfast! Studies show that people who skip their morning meal tend to have lower overall energy levels throughout the day.

• Watch out for junk food! It's easy to grab some chips or cookies when you're feeling tired or stressed out, but these types of foods will only make matters worse in the long run. They can cause blood sugar spikes and crashes (which leads to more cravings), inflammation in your body (which makes it harder to focus), weight gain...the list goes on! Instead try having a piece of fruit or some nuts if hunger strikes while working at home (or maybe even better yet--if possible--take a walk outside).

Realtors can be their own best advocates when it comes to productivity.

When it comes to productivity, you are your own best advocate. You're the only one who can be responsible for taking care of yourself and getting things done.

All of this can be overwhelming and make you feel like you're not getting anything done.
