The Stress Balance
I think I’m finally starting to take a day of rest each week, to turn my mind off to real estate (mostly), and enjoying a relaxing day of down-time.
A career in real estate is littered with moments of relaxing freedom, but counterbalanced by the occasional 80 hour 7 day weeks. In spite of this, there is control, the long weeks are only long if I choose them to be. I think I’m liking this.
The biggest challenge I have dealt with is trying to battle the constant possibility of burnout. In most idle moments, my mind begins to scream that I am not doing enough, that I need to do more marketing, organizing, or networking. I think I am starting to gain control of these outbursts and its good. I am learning that planning is the key, if I don’t plan rest into my schedule, I will burnout.
