The Time Blocking Trick Busy Entrepreneurs Swear By

Time Management — The Trick Seasoned Investors Swear By

You’ve got leads to review, offers to make, tenants to screen, repairs to schedule, closings to coordinate—and a dog that still needs walking.

Feeling overwhelmed yet?

Seasoned investors feel the pressure too—but they’ve learned one simple trick that keeps the chaos from winning:

Block time on your calendar like it’s an appointment with money.

That’s right. They don’t just "find time" to analyze deals or make calls. They schedule it, protect it, and treat it like a meeting with their CPA, lender, or favorite bourbon.

Here’s how it works:

  • Choose your highest-impact activities (deal analysis, offer writing, networking, etc.)

  • Assign a block of time each day or week—and don’t let anything bump it

  • Set recurring events in your calendar so it becomes automatic

  • Turn off notifications and distractions (yes, even your beloved alerts)

This trick works because it forces you to prioritize, not just react.

You’re no longer running your day like a firefighter—you’re running it like a CEO.

And the best part? You’ll get more done in less time, with less stress, and fewer late-night “oh no” moments.

The seasoned investor's secret?

If it’s not on the calendar, it doesn’t exist.
