Post Career

So this is the second day of my post-LL career.  I'm finding my days a bit unstructured, without a clear set of things that need to be done.  I think there are a few key points to consider:
1. I have one boss, myself.  As Jo says "don't feel guilty, just know that you are now the generator of your own income". There are certainly a lot less ad-hoc requests from random people.  I have an obligation to Jo and the other investors, of course, but the responsibility lies with me.
2. One cannot get lost in "busywork".  Every action feels my weighted, again probably due to the consequence of the action direct to my bottom line.
3. I need to get better at planning out my day, especially in a situation where I do not have internet access (and printing facilities etc) all the time.  On that part, I need to start working on setting up a proper office at home.
4. I'm not yet conscious of the money issue (reduced salary and all that) but it may start to affect me when I see my updated bank accounts!
5. It would be very easy to let go and do nothing after having done 9-5 for so long.  The restaurant obviously providing some incentive to get things done.

Now there is absolutely no excuse.  It's time to deliver.
