Be Gretchen.

Let it go.

Act the way I want to feel.

Do it now.

Be polite and be fair.

Enjoy the process.

Spend out.

Identify the problem.

Lighten up.

Do what ought to be done.

No calculation.

There is only love.

Aim high and fight the urge to be too comprehensive.

According to Gretchen Rubin she found out that her commandments help her most when she review them at least daily, to keep them fresh in her mind, and to do this, it helps to keep the list short and snappy. She suspects that Twelve Commandments is too much. Maybe She only need two, ā€œBe Gretchenā€ and ā€œThere is only love.ā€

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
