task (2)

As a REO agent there are multiple tasks to manage. Through the evolution of methods and systems the written daily "To Do" list is a classic never fail task manager that works. Gather your tasks and intergrate them into a written "To Do" list to be monitored and completed every day.

How it works:

1. Invest in paper and ink. You can use a note pad and pencil or a printout from synced up calendar database.

2. Make a list of current tasks and view the prior day's incomplete task.

3. Assign a catagory of importance and a timeframe to complete.

4. Schedule out your day referring to your calendar and tasks.

Through out your day you can monitor, complete a task by checking it off your To Do list and keep yourself accountable for every minute.

A well organized REO agent that masters their daily tasks by using a To Do list will be prepared for growth and opportunity. A basic concept some what lost in modern technology..you can recycle your paper list or store it for future reference.
