Thinkingest Episode 2: Decision Fatigue

Thinkingest
Written By Bill Lascher

[audio:http://lascheratlarge.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Thinkingest-Episode-2.mp3] While I'm away in Southern California poring through reams of Melville Jacoby's letters, photographs and telegrams I've continued to over-think the "Thinkingest" Podcast. This week's edition of the podcast features Monique Balas, a freelance journalist and the woman behind the "Pet Talk" column for OregonLive and the Oregonian. We talk about decision fatigue, toothpaste, and the life of a freelance journalist. For us, it comes down to over-thinking over-thinking.

Find Monique at oregonlive.com/pets or on Facebook.

This week, I also expand on my five-things I'm over-thinking and ask my guest the five things she's over-thinking this week. What about you? What are the five things you're mentally dissecting this week? Let us know in the comments or by email to bill [at] lascheratlarge [dot] com.

Over-analytically yours, Bill
