Dragging my feet back to work today

Hi WA family!
I was on leave for the last 2 weeks and went back to my office today.
The prospect of loads of internal politics, a boss from hell and doing work I'm not passionate about makes the digital nomad life seem so romantic.
Why don't I quit today?

I'm a top B School grad with a US $ 3XX,000 income and a hefty monthly committment which comes with two young kids, a high mortgage and maintaining the lifestyle I love.
But I will define my destiny
I cannot escape my present but I refuse to be a rat in this rat race. I promise to:
- Have working lunches to get more work time in the office
- Not compete with others in staying back late or doing stuff just to earn brownie points but to be focused on things that deliver results
- Be focused in what I do so I can leave the office on time
- Delegate tasks that are meant to be delegated and not micro manage
- Use my spare office time to build my business
- Spend at least 3 hours everyday on building my online business
In short, I will not be unethical and spend my salaried time on building my business but I will be more efficient.
I will do justice to my employer but build my dream life at the same time so I can be my own boss soon.
This is my promise to myself - what's yours? Share in the comments section below and let's keep each other going.
