 Discussing in depth how 5 daily habits can increase your bidding production. Would you like to increase how much estimating you can put out without risking making mistakes? It seems we never have enough hours in a day to complete all the tasks on our proverbial plate. A normal day of a mechanical estimator includes needing to look for new projects, prepare the request for quote on current projects in our bid calendar and send out to your suppliers, and then there is the aforementioned bid calendar we have to keep updated at all times and don't forget you have to be sure you review all the addenda that come out on every project! And I didn't even mention the most time-consuming portion of estimating. The take-off!   

 With so many working elements to preparing accurate and winning construction project bids how in the world can one person make it all happen? I have been doing exactly that for the past decade and now I will share with you 5 essential daily habits that can keep you on track and bidding even more projects than you currently do. That's the way we make more money. Put out more estimates without sacrificing any quality of our current workload so we can increase revenues and thus increase our profit margins.

 I will discuss how you can get better organized as well as reprogram your mind to accept these new habits. Everything we do every day is guided by our habits. We all have a standers routine we follow because that is how humans are programmed to function most effectively. But, if we can identify patterns in our daily routine that are not at peak performance then we can begin to modify our thinkg and our behavior to rewire our programming into a better way of functioning. I say functioning and not thinking because habits require little no thought. That is the sole purpose of a habit. It allows your body to perform a function without the mind having to get involved. so when we learn these new habits that replace our old ones we are now performing better with perhaps less time involved and far less stress.
