Plan Your Week Like a Pro

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The LVR Podcast, Ruan Burger and Marissa Schulze dig into Week 2 of the Broker Journal: Plan and Plan Again. The message is clear — activity without structure is just busyness, and busyness without purpose rarely moves the needle.Ruan and Marissa walk through the concept of the ideal weekly calendar — time blocking your week based on your energy levels, lifestyle, and the activities that actually drive results. Client meetings, prospecting, lender research, follow-ups — when each of these has a dedicated slot, things stop falling through the cracks and the dreaded feast-or-famine cycle starts to even out.The conversation also tackles one of the biggest traps brokers fall into: treating everything as an emergency. Ruan shares a simple voicemail strategy that helps brokers set client expectations, protect their focus time, and reclaim control of their day. Marissa adds that once you start valuing your own time, clients follow suit — and that shift alone can transform how a business feels to run.Whether you're a newer broker trying to build consistency or an experienced broker who's drifted away from structure, Week 2 is a timely reminder that a daily rhythm will save you every time.Ready to build your ideal weekly calendar?
