I started working in 1978 --- a lot of years before the www was available to 'regular' people. SInce I worked for a computing company (ADP) I always had some sort of access to the systems that I worked on/with. In and around 1992, we put up our first website as a vanity piece. It wasn't until the late 90's that I began using email as a correspondence vehicle. So that means that I worked without online access for about 20 years and I was actually pretty successful! For the past 3-days I feel lost and confused. Is this my age affecting me or is it something else?
I guess up until a couple of years ago, Real Estate was dependent upon listing books published by the MLS. I never had to sift through volumes of these books to find a property or compile statistical reports. During the past few days I wish I had that experience so I wouldn't feel so lost without online access! I couldn't check Hotsheets, couldn't print a Tour Report and I had no clue what new hits my clients/customers/prospects had been receiving.
Those 3-days were the most unproductive days I've had recently. I had no desire to make phone calls or do anything that I could have and should have been doing. My brain was just mush --- it's amazing how shallow I am without internet access. All I can say is...
It's good to be back!
