Computers wear out.  Tools wear out.  Even the land wears out.  So do you. 
Saturdays have been my day off for over thirty years.  As an Agent actively selling Real Estate there were two exceptions.  Signatures were exceptions.  If someone is going to sign a listing or purchase contract - get it signed.  Don’t be afraid to ask if they are planning to sign the paperwork or just want to see the house one more time, if they are not going to sign something and you are confident you will not lose the business, then schedule it for another day.  Out of town Buyers are the other exception.  If I then worked on a Saturday, I would take another day or take the next entire weekend off.

At first you will cheat and make an appointment until you realize that just one little appointment throws the whole day off and you end up focusing on that appointment instead of your personal time.

Many times I had another Agent show my Buyer some homes and paid them for it so I could take my day off.  To really be able to relax I coach my Clients to have another Agent or an Assistant check in on their voicemail two or three times on schedule and reach out to the Agent on critical issues, of which there are few. 

Oh, I am writing this on a Saturday.  The fact is I don’t blog on Saturdays either but as I walked by my home office door I felt compelled to share this with you.

“Rules are made to be questioned.”  And “Trust your own judgment.”  Put these two together and you become comfortable making your own rules around taking a day off and trust your own judgment as to how to manage it. 
Enjoy!
