What I learned from trying to be Little Miss Perfect – Oh, perfection. You unobtainable slave-driver, you. Do you still try to keep perfect time to the beat of Little Miss Perfect’s drum? This is a common and innocuous gremlin.
4 Things to remember when your Inner Mean Girl starts bullying you – She’s a real pain in the arse, this gremlin. She’s the one who tells you how terrible you look and looks down her nose at you. A little bullying from this gremlin can leave you reaching for your elastic waistband faster than just about any other. Don’t let her win.

Turns out, as cool as it feels to get there, I have things I’d rather do with that time. Nonetheless, the point about FOMO is still relevant.
Don’t feed your Gremlin after midnight & other warnings – This. My very first video. A little bit goofy (which is just who I am) but the points about your Gremlins is still valid.
