Do What Works For You
Here on the world wide web there is an enormous amount of advice, content, self-help wisdom, how-to’s, productivity tips, nutrition information, 5 steps to get X, etc.

The question is, which of it is useful to you?
Rather than following any guru or prescriptive advice, I invite you to view yourself as the empowered leader of Your One Life.
Do what works for you.
