"Every now and then go away--for when you come back to
your work, your judgment will be surer."
~ Leonardo DaVinci
Your action for today is to schedule on your calendar
a personal day or two just for yourself.
I think one of the most controversial things I do in Real Estate is take Sundays off religiously (pun intended) and weekly for the last 10 years plus. You can not get me by phone, text or email if it is work related. I made this commitment to my family and I honor it so that they trust and respect me.
Guess what, my clients honor/respect it too, because I never deviate from it and I share my Mon-Sat schedule with them Day 1. If you respect your schedule, they respect your schedule. Guess who often has an issue with it? Yep, other REALTORS*
When you truly work efficiently at the office,
play time away from it is guilt-free!
You have to recharge your batteries. You have to spend time with your family, hobbies and yourself. Even your cell phone needs to recharge or it doesn't work, follow its example.
I hope you would not schedule heart surgery with a "7 day per week, all hours of the day" surgeon who gets through his days on little sleep, no exercise, coffee / Red Bull and has troubles at home with his family due his lack of boundaries. A destined for burnout kinda guy. Why do you think your clients would want that from you then?
When you are at work, work like a dog.
When you are off work, play like a puppy!
Design an extraordinary day!
