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:

1. Have working lunches to get more work time in the office
2. 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
3. Be focused in what I do so I can leave the office on time
4. Delegate tasks that are meant to be delegated and not micro manage
5. Use my spare office time to build my business
6. 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.
