There are so many things to do in a day. All the things that need to get done, down to that last email, filing that last contract, or leaving that last voicemail. But looking out a window with a rainy landscape staring back at you, you really lose motivation to do anything at all, and your “to-do” list becomes so much less interesting. But alas, there are still things that need to be done before everyone else leaves for the day. I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to getting home and putting on my ...

What does it mean to have a great place to come home to?

What a great day today. Have you ever felt like you are in the zone? It really is amazing when you turn your phone off, how many things you can accomplish. Technology can be your friend, or your worst enemy. How do you structure your day? I am reading a book called “Time Traps” by Todd Duncan. He talks exclusively about how to block out your day, and minimize your distractions. Take a salesperson, for example, or any public/customer service type job. You have to be connected to the public.

Just today I was driving around the neighborhood in Piedmont, CA delivering packages to families whose homes were on the market, and have not yet sold. I stopped by a home that smelled like mothballs and knocked on the door. The front light was on, but no one was home. I was driving away and looked across the street at a man coming out of his car.
