Our Manifesto

Zen and the Art of Cubicle Freedom: print and place at eye level in cubicle.

1. I am not my cubicle.
2. My cubicle may limit me physically but it cannot do so mentally.
3. Every day I will work on my cubicle escape plan.
4. My plan requires an idea. I can find one.
5. My plan requires courage. I can build such courage.
6. My plan requires action. I am committed to such.
7. I am not my cubicle.

And how do we get courage (5)?

By getting good at something. Really good. Rock star good. It doesn't really matter whether it is making bread, making music, parenting, football or archery. Or writing or drawing or thinking or sewing or knitting or cooking. Or leading. Or selling. But no longer playing. No longer amateur. No longer a kid. Growing up and excelling. Once we have that brilliance at something it gives us courage to step into an area where we know we need to learn. But with courage we can learn fast. Very fast indeed. By waking up. By getting real. By taking action.

That's how we get courage. For stage 5. Of our cubicle escape plan.
