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

If you make decisions in your life, you can start making much better decisions much faster

by learning how to listen to your heart or your intuition or your little voice, whatever

you care to call it, instead of your shrieking monster.

I make great decisions. Here's an example. Pretend I have a lot of toxic waste and my factory

is conveniently located right next to the city's water supply. There's a decision I have to make.

What should I do with the waste? I have a voice in my head that's screaming at me to make that

decision. It'll cost so much to dispose of that toxic waste properly. You have to do something with it.

And dumping it in the city's water supply is easy and cheap. Maybe toxic waste has beneficial

health consequences. Maybe all new babies will be twice as smart since they're born with two heads.

Hmm.

How to make good decisions.

It's not just me.

Some business people and politicians spout great moral words while doing the opposite in private.

Are they insane?

Probably not.

Yes, they hear voices in their head.

The problem is they're listening to the wrong ones.

The reason that's hard to hear the little voice is because of shrieking monster.

That's the voice that uses our insecurities, greed, and fear, to push us into doing really

stupid stuff. It says, without a Velvet Elvis poster, you'll never impress the neighbors.
