Sister Chronos manages time very well.
I get up earlier than most humans, and work undisturbed before phones begin to ring. By the time I need to go out in the field, my desk is clear and my day is well underway. It is a rare day that I don't shut my office down at 4 p.m. with only the following day's tasks on my desk.
I've been working on steroids the past few days so I can spend the rest of my weekend at the River Run with 50,000 bikers. LOL

I manage for the most part, Paul. Then again, I'm not working at increasing my business 20% each year either. I'm very disciplined about the hours I work, so that "forces" me to get as much done as possible during those hours.

Depends on how much is on your plate that can't wait until the next day. I have pulled long hours in the past, but I find now I do need my down time in the evening before bed.

Sometimes & especially right now. I get an early start (7:30am) & I work til dinner. Somedays I have to work after dinner too; til 8 or 9. Usually by the time it hits 9 pm I'm out of steam & I'm not going to be sharp enough to do much more so I call it quits because tomorrow is another day.

I think we could all work ourselves to death Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, if we allowed ourselves to. I try to limit my work activity to the hours of 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM but obviously that doesn't always work. As far as putting signs in when it's dark... that's 4PM in the winter and 10:30 PM in the summer up here in the Northland (I can not say I've put a sign in while it was dark in the summer months).

Often when I find myself working after sunset putting up for sale signs I realize that is the result of doing things I should not have been doing during the day, such as driving that unqualified buyer around or meeting with that LO who needed to show me a shiny thing.
Of course, one could suggest you should not be putting up signs. That's a $5 an hour thing to delegate.

There are some days that just seem to be a bit too jammed with stuff.... Yesterday I tried to keep track of everything I did because I was trying to figure out where I spend time unnecessarily. And I stopped around 2 or 3 pm because I just couldn't keep up with myself. haha.

Paul,
I have made it a practice to shut down my computer before starting dinner. I usually am up early, and today was an exception as we were out late with a dear friend who was in town. A

Paul do you guys not have sign companies in your area that can do that for you? We try to delegate as much as we can because, as we all know, there are so many details to handle.

Not really. I make sure I put a deadline on my workday. If I say I'm stopping work at 6, my work becomes much more focused, and I'm able to get everything done before my deadline.
