As a real estate agent, my schedule is subject to change. I'm good with being flexible when it comes to inspections, closings, appointment times, etc. What I am not good at is taking a day, or even an hour, off for myself.
When it comes to being dual career - family and real estate - my family understands there are times I cannot make games or other activities. PTA meetings and teacher conferences - I make. Symphonies and the required rehearsals - I make (my son plays the double bass).
It's all about priorities. Every two or three months, however, I do claim a "Me" day. I don't go anywhere I don't want (unless an illness comes up) and I do things I like - knitting, needlepoint, gardening, or maybe finally watch the only soap opera I like. Or, I hope you're sitting down, I clean to my heart's content - I like to clean when I don't "have" to. Maybe I should go to a doctor about that one!
After my "Me" day, I'm good to go for another couple of months.
