The Boring (but effective) Way to get Your Life Together

One decision at a time

I think we give our inner critic far too much airtime. With a title like that, most of our inner critics have plenty of ideas about how terrible our life is and how we need to get our act together.

If your inner critic was a person standing in front of you, I think defenestration (the act of throwing someone out a window) would be a pretty reasonable first reaction.
