Goofy Diversions for a Sacramento Realtor to Enjoy

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

I sometimes see advice blogs about how to live a balanced life as a top producer Sacramento Realtor and, I hate to say this, but it's not really possible. And why would an agent want to anyway? There is no way to evenly divide up your time. There is simply taking time for yourself and family, while managing a busy career. Everybody does it differently; there is no wrong, no right. Balance is in the eye of the beholder.

What I have found to be very helpful though is diversions. Things that keep my spirits up, my attitude in check and positive, and stuff that maintains my overall sense of well being. You can read more about that in my personal blog today at this link: Cat Playing Piano and Listing Homes in Sacramento.

Elizabeth, it is so true ... we all approach life and business in a way that beats to our own drum. There is no right or wrong ... it is what works for us.

Having cats in the house gives us a source of great entertainment.  They add so much to our daily lives.  Just watching my black cat, Shadow, intently watching the printer as a contract spits out is funny.  It's like he's a supervisor.

Tessa grabs the sheets and jumps on them so they backup and wrinkle and clog my printer. Let's not even talk about what she does to my fax machine. Little kitty teethmarks on the pages.

You can never be too serious about life and work all the time. Take it with a grain of salt. Have a great day Elizabeth.

Very good one Elizabeth.  My diversion is to make a hole-in-one, one of these days.  That keeps me going back and spending a lot of money to play the game.

I'm hoping to see my wife for a few minutes today after work.  But, I can do without the cat playing the piano.

Good morning Elizabeth. I'm not looking for any diversions, but there always seems to be many around, but most of them don't get in my way.

Elizabeth, it is hard to say a certain time is for prospecting, then the next hour is for ......   The phone keeps ringing, or you get more emails to take care of, then show homes.
