I want to live a life of freedom. But not freedom as in financial/time/social/location/physical freedom, freedom to do the right thing at the right time, or perhaps freedom from distraction.
I'm not in the fortunate position of not needing to work to live. I do not have financial freedom. I do not have my own business that works for me (and accept full responsibility for not having the entrepreneurial acumen to build such a thing). I have a full-time job and work for an employer. I have the freedom to leave at any time (but then I'd have to find something else ... and I like the work enough, and it pays well enough, that I really don't have thoughts of leaving any time soon.)
Accepting I have to work to survive. And working intelligently is something I should strive for (not necessarily working hard, work clever!) Then my life of freedom involves doing the right thing at the right time and being free from unproductive distraction and doubt.
How you do the right thing at the right time and free yourself from distraction and doubt is a very personal thing. This is my take on it.
Living a Life of Freedom: How to Approach the Working Day!
Note: I set no freedoms for personal days. Personal days are very much free to do what you like (which includes being free to practice your work day freedoms.)
We live in a time where social media, mobile and internet is the biggest distraction. Our biggest slaver!
