School’s Back – Setting up Systems & Schedules

August 23, 2022

The stores’ supply aisles have been decimated, porch photos have been taken, and the bells have rung: School is back in session. Although we may miss the summer fun, most of us also look forward to getting back into a routine – having set schedules, and getting our homes in order. Read on for tips on getting set up on some systems and schedules

Schedules and Calendars

Whether your calendar is in your purse, on your wall, or on your phone, identify ways to share calendar information as a household. With digital calendars, even if you used different programs and apps, you can invite others to events, or share entire calendars that each person can overlay on their personal calendar. It is also possible to subscribe to a public calendar–such as a school, team, or club, automatically overlaying all the pertinent information and events on your personal calendar. Here are some info pages for the most popular digital calendars:

Menu Planning

A new school year is a great time to recommit to regular mealtimes around a table. And the best way to make that happen is to put in the planning! One of our favorite meal planning apps is Plan to Eat, but there are a plethora of other sites and apps for searching out recipes, making a plan, and even setting up a shopping list.

Let me let you in on a little secret... 🤫 Everyone waits for spring. They wait for the flowers to bloom and the “For Sale” signs to pop up everywhere. But you know what else pops up in spring? Bidding wars. Stress. Over-asking offers. Here is why winter is actually your Power Play: Serious Sellers: If a house is on the market right now, there is a reason. These sellers are motivated, which means we have room to negotiate. Zero Crowds: No elbowing through open houses. You have the breathing room to make a decision. Leverage: Prices often soften, and homes sit a little longer. That puts the ball in your court. Don’t wait to compete with the crowd. Let’s use the cold to get you a hot deal. 🔥 Send me a DM if you want to see what’s sitting on the market right now.

I just adore Oksana. Spending the evening in her beautiful home, sharing the most delicious dinner with her and her boys, was such a joy. This incredible mama of four is doing truly amazing things. While her husband is in Ukraine caring for his mom, she continues to show up with so much strength, grace, and love. Getting to help her move from a two-bedroom apartment into a 3,000+ square foot home was one of those moments that reminds me why I love what I do.

Realtors…do feel like you’ve been pulled back this year? That’s exactly what a slingshot does right before it launches forward. We all hit those seasons that feel like setbacks. Whether it’s a shifting market or a slower month. But what if that tension you’re feeling isn’t failure? What if it’s just resistance building momentum? The most successful brokers I know don’t panic during the pullback. They use this time to refine, reflect, and get laser-focused. Because when the market shifts again (and it always does), the agents who have been quietly preparing are the ones who are going to launch the farthest. 🚀 If this is your pullback season, don’t panic…prepare. The launch is coming. 📌 Save this post for the days you need the reminder.
