<p><em>By Jeremy Mullens</em></p>
<p>Interns are awesome. ¬†About two weeks ago our web development intern introduced me to the <a title="The Pomodoro Techniques official website" href="http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/" target="_blank">Pomodoro Technique</a>, a better way to just get things done around the office. ¬†The theory is simple &#8211; make a list, work dedicated for 25 minutes on one project and one project only and when the 25 minutes is up you take a short break.</p>
<p>I was skeptical at first. ¬†Being in charge of marketing I sometimes think that mulit-tasking is the only way to accomplish something&#8230; I mean in theory your getting more stuff done at a time. ¬†<a title="Test your multi-tasking skills" href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/06/07/technology/20100607-distraction-filtering-demo.html?ref=technology" target="_blank">I guess I was wrong</a>, and in this case, happily wrong. ¬†Granted the Pomodoro Technique isn&#8217;t the end all solution for everyone out there, but from what I have seen in the office it has pushed us to a new level of getting things done. ¬†So, props to Josh Compton for taking the initiative and pushing me as a &#8220;mentor&#8221; in a new direction&#8230; now back to work <img src='http://www.stevevolkersgroup.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;">When I work with developers I some times wonder how hands on are the agents and the builder? Do the communicate well with each other? Do they understand the needs of the client that is coming through? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;">Here are some pictures from our last meeting that we have every Tuesday morning. They are not staged and team didn‚Äôt even know I was going to be taking a picture tell I pushed the button. What I think it shows is how involved the process of building Celadon is. There is no time to think we have something amazing and cool here it all about how to we grow a community based on what people want and hope they want to live. Can we use locate resources, materials and build in a new way that always for better land use. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;">I think when you stop for a minute and realize we talked for 30 min about the kids park and what makes our kids happy and should we have swings, tettor totter and swings and were they should go you relive this is different and feel forcinate to participate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;">We hope that these meeting every Tuesday effect all of our home owners and future home owners in a positive way and they can see our passion for building a community.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a recent article by <a title="Dave Ramsey's official website" href="http://www.daveramsey.com/" target="_blank">Dave Ramsey</a>, a home seller asked whether to sell his house &#8216;For Sale by Owner&#8217; or with a Realtor. Dave did all of us a favor by explaining why everyone should use a Realtor to sell their home. It really is amazing to see all of the marketing that can be done by a home owner now and it&#8217;s great having home owners as &#8216;partners&#8217; that want to actively help you sell their home. Dave says the best resource is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that only certified Realtors can access. ¬†Also, Realtors have a large network of people that are looking to help sell your home. ¬†<a title="Dave Ramsey Q and A" href="http://grandrapidsmoves.com/vt/dave.pdf" target="_blank">You can find the article here</a>.</p>
