How do you plan for a productive day?

I don’t like to-do lists so I use the Time Box technique, which was developed at Harvard University and is widely used. Following this technique, I tackle the least desirable task first and allocate time to everything I want to do. I prioritise my focus and try to avoid tasks that don’t add value. I also treat exercise as a daily commitment to myself. I try to wake up early and workout to get it done for the day and I include this in my time block with the same importance as other important tasks, which definitely correlates with a healthy and productive workday.

What are the key elements to a successful broker/lender relationship at Time Finance?
