While I take a break #101 - The guilt of doing nothing
So here's the thing. I had been a workaholic for the last 16 years. That is ever since I started working. Actually no, that's not true - I have been a workaholic for the last 10 years, ever since I got serious about work. And boy, did I get serious about work. Its last 6 years actually - that would be most precise. I don't know where it came from - the madness to excel at work. Maybe it was a new challenge thrown at me. Maybe it was because like Sheryl Sandberg says in her book "Lean In", we girls tend to feel the pressure of proving ourselves way more than men. Maybe that's what it was for me when I joined Grocery retail 6 years ago. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't really know much about this part of the world when I got in 6 years ago. Or maybe it was just because I was tired of being a marketer for a decade that when a new opportunity came my way, I just threw myself right in. Whatever the reason might have been, I worked my butt off and how!...
