Most of the time, but not always, quite honestly. But I love going away when there are closings - deals are done but easy to manage from afar

Generally if I just think about planning half a day off (like tomorrow for example) I end with appointments.  I hadn't even mentioned to my husband that I wanted to take the afternoon off to do something with him (he's off) so fortunately he's not disappointed.

No the scheduling doesn't do it but the fast approaching of it does and when it gets to a day or two before leaving it busts loose causing long work days and exhaustion upon leaving.

Happens like clockwork almost all the time. The really strange thing is that my wife has the uncanny ability to attract biz that way all the time. We plan a few days in Palm Desert and she gets calls for that area. We plan a trip up to the Central Coast and she gets calls there. We plan a visit to see my 94 yr old Mom and we get calls from her area. Very strange indeed but very productive.

Yes, seems like that always happens to me but you have to follow through the  plan and take the vacation.  In the long run its the best thing you can do for your business.  But it's interesting how that always comes into play when you plan time off.
