Question

Organization

It's fair to say our CanGo friend Nick is lacking in his organizational skills. I've found in my past experiences that tracking and organizing my tasks and knowing where every element of my business (potential sales, agent training, etc) was at any given moment was critical to moving things forward. I've always had a folder full of spreadsheets to reference and have often shared them with my colleagues as templates for tracking their own success.

How do you stay organized? What tricks and tips do you have to share with your peers as you embark on this course and the big assignments ahead?
