Don’t Detest the Text . Just Take the Pledge
It’s not that I detest the text. It’s just that sometimes it makes sense to rest your thumbs.
Like when they, the thumbs, are supposed to be proximate to the other four fingers of each hand in the 10 after 2 position to safely steer the car.
And safely steering the car doesn’t happen when trying to steer a conversation. By text.
So rest the thumbs. Which is what I am doing.
When I drive, that is.
The whole idea of going Luddite when it comes to cars, thumbs and texting is gaining momentum. So much so that an email earlier today from a colleague at my brokerage (now Chicago’s top real estate brokerage, by the way), featured the tagline below…
It makes sense. Despite the notion that constant motion is the steady state theory of being on the leading edge of representing sellers and buyers in the Chicago real estate market, common sense when it comes to where our hands should and must be when we drive is refreshing.
And safe.
And we at @properties think it is good business.
So, whether you listen to Oprah who has taken the banner and asks you to take the pledge.
Or whether you respond to sterner stuff like the fellow pictured below, keep it in context and when you drive, drive. And save the texting for when the vehicle is parked.
