Welcome to the Get It Done Guys quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

I feel like I need approval on almost everything that I do.

It's slowing me down and I'm bothering my boss too much.

I don't want to be a burden, quite the opposite.

I want to make their life easier.

Do you have any tips on how to be more independent, quite the opposite. I want to make their life easier. Do you have any

tips on how to be more independent in my situation and bother my boss less?

Noam, it sounds to me like this just isn't working. You're an employee who's taking up a lot of

your boss's time, and yet you want to reduce the time you're taking, still do a good job,

deliver results, and make your boss's

life easier in the process? All while depriving your boss of the joy of micromanaging you

and inappropriately wasting your time? What's your boss going to do with all that free time? Drink?

Do you really want to be responsible for this person's gradual descent into alcoholism,

despair, and an early death from psoriasis of the liver?

You're far better than that, Noam.

Do your current boss of favor and quit right now.

Then come work for me.

If you beg, I might be willing to let you do a good job and make my company successful

without needing me to spend all of my time supervising you.

Yay!
