Are You Reelin' in the Years? Dealing with Daily Life -Monday Melodies

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with MoonDancer Realty, Dillsboro,NC NC# 218097

Funny how it takes careful planning to do what you want to do, when you want to do it when we work in real estate.  We careen from appointment to appointment but we do have the luxury of scheduling in "appointments" to take advantage of fun or necessary private time.

Oh yeah sure...the cell phone still rings and the emails still come in but that's okay.  We are so fortunate to live in a time when we can keep up with what we've pledged to do for our clients and still attend to our own needs.

We'll be working from Command Central at home today instead of in the office.  For years we've had very old and huge trees begging us to be released from where they stand before they simply fall down.  Finally, today is the day we'll deal with that and personally, I'd rather not have tons of tree falling on the property when we aren't present.

Scheduling the time was pretty easy...we've known about this appointment for weeks and everyone who wanted to book an appointment today understood why it couldn't happen.  You see, they are either homeowners now or soon will be.  They all understood our preference to be present during the event.

So...far from traveling down the rabbit hole that is YouTube, we'll be working and watching.  Then tomorrow it is back to Command Central in Dillsboro!

Have a great week!

Good morning, Mona! Reelin' in the East by Steely Dan brings back some great memories for me. Enjoy your time today as your trees are trimmed and thinned.

It is great to be able to be the master of your own time.  The joy of being self-employed.  Great song too BTW.

I hope you do not lose too many trees.   My office is in my home and there are pro and cons with that...but I am usually on the road looking at farms.  With todays technology I can do almost anything from the front seat of my truck that I can do in my office...even contracts and Nebraska Farm Land listings...

Mona, I agree with you that we are usually very good with our business appointments and yet sometimes forget to schedule time for our family and personal life.  I don't answer my phone while with my clients and I don't answer my phone during dinner hour.  To me it just a matter of respect for the people I am with at the moment.  My clients like this approach when they are with me and know I will return their call as soon as they can have my full attention.

Mona, I love the song - Reelin in the Years!  Great post!  YES!  Keep those cell phones on vibrate when with family or another client.

Have great success when you are out serving in the real estate endeavors that you have!

A planned fall is better than an accidental Fall.  Keep them away from the house.

thanks for the walk down memory lane.  Good thing you took care of those trees.  They grow pretty large in your area!  Having formerly lived in Alabama, I can testify!

The comment I have on this blog relates tothe Steely Dan song.  The quote under mysenior high school picture a line of lyrics:  The things that pass for knowledge I dont understand.

I love this.  I work HARD, but I play hard too.  The nice thing about being in real estate is that I can make my schedule anything I need it to be.  If I want to take the kids to open gym on Friday morning, I can.  I'll just schedule appointments for before or after.  No sweat..
