Before we start, meet the Committee.

You know that running conversation in your head?

The voice that says, "Are you sure?"

The one that wants to text somebody and ask what they think.

The one that says, "Screw it, I'll start Monday."

The one that can turn one tiny decision into a 45-minute meeting nobody asked for.

That's what I call the Committee.

We all have one. It's the doubts, fears, what-ifs, old rules, opinions, excuses, and protective little voices that pipe up when we're trying to make a decision, change something, or do something uncomfortable.
