"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life"  - Confucius

You must enjoy what you are doing with a passion and then you will accomplish your goals. A post that is worth re-blogging. Thank you, Barbara. See you in Boston for RainCamp.

After reading a post by Michael Thornton titled "Time Blocking and Blogging" it made me think about the organization skills and discipline exercised by many agents.  I think the majority in this industry have good intentions.  To go forth and apply those time management principles that are shared by others in our industry is an ongoing process.  Again, our intentions are always good.

Most agents continually attend courses and seminars that provide guidelines and assistance with managing time.  We are given samples of time lines and daily tasks that may apply to our business plan.  Again, most have good intentions of using this information.

Real estate agents are creatures of habit, but those habits are formed because of priorities.  At any one time, one thing is more important than another.  One task is more enjoyable than another.  For those who do not like writing, blogging will never work properly because it's unrealistic to think that a task that is not enjoyable will be repeated consistently. 

If one has found an enjoyable function and it continues to work for them, it automatically becomes a priority in their daily routine.  That task will be performed consistently with added improvement until it becomes a way of life and a natural daily event.  If that's what blogging has become, it's because you allowed it to happen.  You make sure the "blogging time" during your day is "blocked" for that undertaking.   You enjoy that mission, and everyday it becomes a "mission accomplished" that continually provides positive reinforcement for you, the writer, and additional strength for your business.

Hi Barbara: Yes, we are neighbors. I have past clients that have purchased in Franklin, which is part of the area of Southern Ma that I service. Some of the best restaurant are in Providence in Federal Hill. You have a blog that touched a chord of my being.

"For all my good intentions, there are days when things go wrong or I fall into old habits. When things are not going well, when I'm grumpy or mad, I'll realize that I've not been paying attention to my soul and I've not been following my best routine.". -- Robert Fulghum

Back when I was just 11 years old, my wise old grandmother taught me how to create a five-year plan and then to break it down into years, months, weeks, days, and, if necessary, hours. Then I worked those hours and days persistently and consistently and wound up exactly where I wanted to be in five years, sometimes even ahead. I've been doing that now for 45 years and it continues to work.
