In an age where TikTok has taught us to expect everything in 30 seconds, time feels like it’s always running out. For insurance intermediaries, juggling client meetings, paperwork, prospecting, and admin is like trying to keep flaming torches in the air while riding a unicycle.

Why Time Management Matters Now More Than Ever

Clients expect speed. Quick replies, instant quotes, same-day follow-ups. In fact, studies show 70% of customers say speed of response matters most in service interactions. But here’s the kicker: intermediaries also need time to build relationships — and that can’t be rushed.

Practical Hacks for Time Mastery

• Batch the Boring Stuff
  Emails, paperwork, admin tasks — do them in focused batches rather than scattering them across your day.

• Adopt the 80/20 Rule
  80% of your results come from 20% of your activities. Identify the top clients and tasks that really move the needle.

• Tech as Your Timekeeper
  Scheduling apps, CRM reminders, and even WhatsApp auto-replies can help you stay responsive without burning out.

• Protect “Deep Work” Hours
  Block 2 hours a day for tasks that need focus, like preparing proposals. No calls, no distractions.

The Payoff

By mastering time, you’re not just more efficient — you’re less stressed, more client-friendly, and more likely to stay in this business for the long haul. Think of it as the insurance policy for your sanity.
