Essentials No. 2: A Schedule - Design Your Time, Protect Your Peace

You don’t need more hours - you need a plan for the hours you already have. This episode shows Double Duty Agents how to build an aligned schedule that creates freedom, focus, and consistency.

This podcast is for the real estate agents building their dream life and business on their terms, especially if you’re working another job, raising a family, or building it all at once. In this episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, Carla dives into Essential #2: A Schedule - why having set real estate hours is the most loving thing you can do for yourself, your family, and your clients.

You’ll learn:

• Why schedules = freedom: How structure protects your peace and helps you be fully “on” and fully “off.”
• The two failure patterns: “Fit it in” chaos vs. “24/7” burnout—and why neither is a working plan.
• Goal Setter vs. Goal Getter (quick refresher): The conscious designer creates the plan; the executor follows it. Your schedule is the peace treaty between the two.
• Myths & limiting beliefs that keep agents unscheduled and the truths that replace them:

o    “Schedules limit freedom” → Structure creates freedom

o    “Clients expect 24/7 access” → Expectations set early build trust

o    “I’ll fit it in” → You won’t (consistently) without time blocks

o    “If it changes, I failed” → Flexibility isn’t failure

• When you’re the manager of your own time, you must post your own schedule - or everyone else will.
• How to build an aligned schedule that honors your life, energy, and goals:
• Honor life priorities
• Protect energy rhythms
• Block recurring time for lead gen, follow-up, client care, learning
• Include real off-time (recovery = productivity)
• Make it visible and non-negotiable

This isn’t just content. This is coaching. Let’s go.
