The Deathbed Calendar: My Personal System for Real Estate Time Management


Listen Later


In this episode, I share one of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve ever had in real estate—and in life—what I call the “Deathbed Calendar.”

 

Inspired by Robin Sharma’s The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, the “deathbed mentality” is about living each day with clarity and purpose. For me, it meant turning my calendar into more than a productivity tool—it became a mirror of my values.

 

I talk about how I went from letting real estate’s chaos control my time to intentionally designing my days—protecting space for high-value work, relationships, rest, and joy.

 

We explore:

  • How to make your calendar reflect your priorities, not your distractions
  • Why honoring your time makes others respect it too
  • The simple way I block both work and life commitments
  • How presence, not just planning, transforms your day
  •  

    If you’re tired of feeling like your time isn’t your own, this episode will help you take it back and live every day like it counts.
