What a Slacker...

By
Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

     This week has been a busy one as I have been working both in and on the business. Like many in real estate, Memorial weekend is like any other; work, work and more work.
    Like clockwork, my internal clock woke me up at my usual time. I stumbled out of bed, put on a pot, booted the Mac and started making comments here in AR. I stopped and said to myself, “Self, this is your only day off this weekend. Get some rest!” I went back to bed and slept for a few more hours. I feel great even though I was a slacker.

Heading out to a consult in an hour on a house that hasn't sold listed with another broker and listing tomorrow, Michael...no time for slackers here.

Thats not being a slacker thats called regrouping or refreshing.  Good for you.  BTW, how do you get different fonts to appear on AR?

Good morning or even good afternoon, Michael --- if you're a slacker - what does make the rest of us?   As Chris and Dick Dovorany commented -- it's really about taking care of yourself -- regroup, refresh, relax -- you'll do even better.

Michael,  I am a real advocate of taking the time when we can. Friday I felt like reading a book and getting a massage. I did both.  I'm showing property today and then taking my clients to lunch.  Slacking when there is time to slack is a good thing

Wow, you were able to get back to sleep? That's a good thing, Michael, and shows what you needed to do.

Michael,

Important to take your time off...you know the old adage, all work and no play... You need to take time off.  A

Hello Michael,

Isn't it terrible that us workaholics consider it slacking when we take a little "me" time.  Rest, relax...you've earned it!

Michael,

 Taking time off when it is your day off is not considered slacking! Have a great Memorial Day weekend. I will be working all weekend but then again I just came of vacation!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. You are correct real estate in general is work work and more work. But boy howdy does the love for my job make my day a happy one. Sleeping in is good sometimes. Have a blessed weekend.

Michael I try to slack off one day every weekend.  Our bodies and minds work much better after a little slacking off time each week :)

Good for you.  I usually do the same, but today we had family get together to help my son out in his landscapting at his house.  He is not much a landscaper, so once a year my family goes out to help him out.

Sleeping in is my favorite part of the day. Don't think you're a slacker just because you slept a little longer.

Tomorrow Monday I am totally off.  Except, I may walk out a piece of land with a Buyer... it's a heavily wooded tract, which in itself will be restful and peaceful.

Michael - I say "slackers" unite and rise (metaphorically) and get some [extended] sleep once in a while! Well done.

That's not being a slacker. We all need a little downtime here or there we don't get burned out!

I took off yesterday, after a 3 inspection day on Saturday, but still have one to do today. But I'll be done by noon, then it's off the rest of the day.
