Monday night TV wastes 3 hours for me. Can’t help it… 24, Prison Break and Heroes! That’s my worst night, not much on on other nights.

That said, I’ve been running around these past few days looking at some much property that I didn’t feel guilty watching 3 hrs of TV.

pr, you’re a hoot. Like you ever slow down, girl!

I figure I’ll rest when I’m dead. Til then, there are too many interesting things to do. None of them require watching hours of tv (I prefer to live life, not watch it).

I know exactly what you mean. It is strange to read someone else describe it, because that is exactly how I feel. There is so much to accomplish whether it be for my GolfersWired.com business, my real estate portfolio, or any other investments that if I come home and don’t do anything I feel incredibly guilty. Although I have found that at times it is necessary to do so. I sometimes get completely exhausted and then only at that point I commit to relaxing for an entire night.

I think the answer lies in just stepping out to take action- something to keep you accountable so you don;t have time to sit around. First the need- then the means.

I feel guilty for not working on my “day job” hard enough and trading instead :)

I felt that way about a W-2 job last June. I told myself I would quit in 6 months and invest full time. I guess they read my mind (doesn’t help when I bring RE books to read at my SLOW job) and they let me go. What a blessing. I now invest full time and build my knowledge and self confidence through various literature. Now I’m looking for win-win partnerships with like minded people.

I’m in San Diego and invest here and out of state.

I try to keep my life well balanced, but find that I sometimes forget about friends and family. I try to make a concerted effort to spend time with my wife and dogs each night and give them the attention they need.

Helps keep me grounded on why I’m doing what I’m doing. Sometimes its easy to let the “chase” take over your life.

Actually, you need to relax and take a breather every so often. It’s like telling a dieter they have to drink water and eat rice cakes ONLY. From what I’ve read, most professional people incorporate relaxation into their schedule, whether it be spiritual meditation, yoga, exercise, a round of golf, reading about something other than business/REI/stocks/etc.
