Summary

If you want to make your life less of a dumpster fire, willpower doesn’t work -- at least not over the long term. Yet all the influencers offer only willpower-based solutions. As usual, Jen steps in to share real solutions that work for people living real lives. She also talks about finding hidden domestic skills when you seem to be bad at everything in that department.
