When I should be recruiting...

When I should be recruiting, since our RMS sheets came out 3 days late this week and we are still expected to have 30 people scheduled to interview(I have 11 so far, so I'm not that far off), I'm sitting here and writing this.  Why do you ask?  Because my brain is fried and I need a break fro

m having tight deadlines to complete tasks that I would otherwise have a LOT more time to do.  Most people have a 4 day week this week.  Lucky them. This business never stops.  We work weekends, weeknights, weekend nights, and every time in between.  It's hard to always have a smile on and a kind word for everyone.  Sometimes I just want to be left alone to deal with my thoughts and my own demons.

This is the first time this morning that I have had 2 minutes to myself.  Since coming in, I've fixed two crisis's, completely rebooted our software system for our agents, did 2 hiring interviews, redid my craigslist ads, answered 25+ questions from people studying for their tests, and made a list of supplies we are out of for our boss.  Needless to say it has been a busy morning. All I want to do is shut my door for 10 minutes and take a nap. Sadly that is not the case. I have an open door policy- which is great and is very helpful for new agents- but it gives me very little time alone to accomplish tasks.

This morning I read a great, brief, article on Levo League.  It is a site for business women to connect and expand their horizons professionally and socially.  I have greatly enjoyed everything I have participated in so far. Anyhow- the article was titled: You Will Never Have Enough Time.  The article was spot on.  The reality is that the article was about prioritizing and not apologizing for it.   Do as much as you can and leave the rest.   Invest your time into things that are important to you.

Here's to doing as much as I can and leaving the rest.
