Hey, how ya'll dooin?

I am doooooin real fine myself, thanks for asking!

I got a question for You productive folk of the Fastlane Forum

Recently I ran into a new challenge. I am an unpaid intern - working in the public sector. (I have to do this to get my useless degree, to make my family happy - yea, I should do me and all that, but I feel indebted to them and there are only 3 months left till I graduate!!! )

Do not get me wrong, I am grateful for the opportunity to help the bureaucrats and serve my country... but after I come home I feel empty, drained and unfocused.

I have trouble focusing on my projects.

Now tell me - am I being a lazy sack of potatoes or is there a way to get into the zone even after long day of booooooooooooooring menial tasks?

Do You have any tips to keep up the hustle after getting home from work?

Any thoughts welcome!


P.S.

Thank You all for being here! You have given me so much direction I feel like a navigation system! Thanks for aligning me with my purpose guys! <3
