Lazy Sundays

Lazy Sunday's - Taking time for YOU!

For the Realtors out there like myself, who have been working their butts off lately, and killing it, taking a day off is tough to do. You know you want to, but feel like you might miss that one new client, or deal.
With me, I feel like I am being lazy or not putting in full effort if I take one day off for myself. Before my birthday on August 28th, I had not taken more than maybe a half day off in over 4 months. On my birthday I took the weekend off and went and spent some time with family over in Tampa.
It made me start to think, what is the use in working so hard, if i don't give myself time to enjoy it?
So i made it point to try to take at least 1 day off every other week. Now of course, if I have something that needs to be done, or an appointment that cannot be moved, I will do it. But for example today, all my showings were on Saturday and Monday, and all i had to do was put in a couple offers, and answer some emails. So i did do some work, but I didn't have to do much more than put on some shorts and a t-shirt and sit down at my computer.
While I feel like i owe it to myself to make some time for myself, all day I felt like I was doing something wrong. I was constantly checking my blackberry for messages, and calls.
But now, that the day is winding down, and I actually got to relax and not think about Real Estate for more than a few minutes, I know I am going to be that much more focused and ready tomorrow.
So my point is, I understand the urge to work 24/7, especially when the checks are rolling in, but take some time for yourself and reflect on how much you have been doing, and sit back and enjoy it for a day or so. If you are good, your clients will be there.
