242: “Maximizing” vs “Satisficing”

It’s a new year and so many choices abound. What are your goals, your resolutions, your word for the year? And the big question: Do you have to stick to them, even though things have evolved?

On today’s short-run episode, I share the following:

• Why having too many choices can lead to anxiety, rumination, stress, use of mental energy, and more.

• What too many choices looks like to some people.

• Where to be a “satisficer” and where to be a “maximizer.”

• How to go about setting your own plan for making choices.

The Runner of the Week, Foti Panagakos, is back for his 5th episode. We discuss:

• What prompted him to move from suburban New Jersey to West Virginia.

• What his running routine looks like now that he has hills to run.

• His journey to run 50 marathons in 50 states.

• How he keeps injury free while running so many marathons.
