Yes you read the title correct this is my 4th day with out a cell phone!! It's hard to believe but I have survived This past Friday the Sims Card in in Blackberry went bad and I had to make a decession. My wife and our 2 dogs Kris and Nick had made it to our Lake House on Wednesday Evening and we had been relaxing and getting ready to 3 other couples over for Ribs and all the Fixins' on Friday night. After spending some time on line and making a phone call from the "Land Line" we found out the closest place to replace the Sims Card was an hour each way plus I'm sure and hour at the story. Lesia said come on and I'm go with you. I set back had a drink of coffee and said it's ok I'll Just Do Without My Cell Phone Until Tuesday!! I thought she was going to pass out!!
I forgot about the phone and got ready for our compamy and never one time missed that phone on Friday!! Here's what I discovered:
- In the age of everyone needing instant responds: It's Ok to Take Off and Leave the phone off!!
- I think we put to much pressure on ourselves to be available 24/7
- Our Agents and Clients Can do without us for a Couple of Days
- We Just simply are not that important!
- If I missed A Sale it's Ok. I needed the rest. The Black circles are gone!! Well almost!
- We had a peaceful 4 day get away without answering the phone the whole time!!
- It's important to turn it off for a while and just relax and get the batteries recharged
- I did not Miss the Phone Ringing! Try it Sometime!
Now here's what I hope and I can do the Next Time we come to the Lake which by the why is the 1st weekend in October. We all stay so busy!
- I want us both to turn the phones off!!
- Leave the computer at Home and that means no EMAIL or ACTIVE RAIN
Here all I have to do to make that Successful:
- Change my voice mail at the office and ask them to call a team member
- Be sure to change the Voice Mail on the Cell phone
- Set up auto responder on my email.
Sounds so simple now be sure to Check Out the Rest of the Story in October and Lets see If I can Do It!
Have a Great Labor Day!
