The Struggle Is Real: Decision Fatigue
February 28, 2023 08:00 - 33 minutesAre you irritable, impulsive? Do you procrastinate? Maybe it’s Decision Fatigue. When you’ve made too many decisions (and it doesn’t matter whether they’re simple or complicated), you get fatigued. It’s just what happens. In this episode, we discuss this phenomenon and what to do about it. Also, Toast is surprised when she learns what Siena thinks about her wardrobe. And, in case it comes in handy, the other ep we mention is "Why You’re In A Rut: The Need For Novelty" sienaandtoast.com/podc...

Making Friends As An Adult
February 14, 2023 08:00 - 41 minutesJust maintaining, let alone making, new friends, isn’t so easy as an adult. Amirite?! In this episode, we discuss "the 4 a.m. friend," the idealization of friendship, and “the liking gap.” We also take a much (much!) broader perspective to see how our entire economy is set-up to incentivize us away from the bonding social connections that would otherwise emerge naturally. As Charles Eisenstein has explained in his book "Sacred Economics," it does this through usury and interest-bearing debt. ...

We then go on to discuss the two different ways to apply Temptation Bundling, depending on whether the task is cognitively demanding or not. And finally, we acknowledge that "wanting to feel motivated" can be seen as an att...

Inviting Serendipity
January 10, 2023 08:00 - 31 minutesIn this episode, we talk about serendipity. Yes (for those who remember) the 2001 movie (remember?!

In this episode, we talk about why, and recall the hobbies we had, way back then. We talk about why hobbies are a healthy thing.

One of the most important skills to develop is being able to give yourself a command and follow it. Turn off your brain: don’t even try to be grateful or any of that stuff You’ll never gu...
