Is it the moon or something else? What makes some days more hectic than others?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

 

Is it the moon or something else? What makes some days more hectic than others?Yesterday was one of “THOSE” days. One of those days when the phone doesn’t stop ringing and that a lot of tasks need to be done by a certain time.

I often wonder what causes so much activity on any given day. Especially on the days when nearly all of your time is already blocked out.

It could be the position of the moon, or maybe it is the Summer Solstice that wreaked so much havoc. But the pressure was intense and I didn’t get my mandatory reports submitted until less than an hour before the midnight deadline. I have NEVER cut it that close.

After running all day yesterday on nothing by caffeine and adrenaline, I came to the conclusion that I like to be busy, but not THAT busy!

So I hope that today things will settle down a bit!

Richard, I hear you. I wish I could explain it but sometimes there are just no answers. I wish you a more productive day and time for lunch.

Richard - many times it really IS planetary activity - we have more than just the moon that impacts us!

Richard, I got say that the moon must have at least something to do with it. It can move oceans so it probably does have some effect on us I mean the people we have to deal with on a daily basis ;-)

Richard...be careful for what you wish for.  The MEDIA is just around the corner with the next doom and gloom story.

It would be nice to be able to blame it on the moon, as I do regularly.  But, it's just the nature of our business, unfortunately.
