Why having too many choices not only makes choosing more challenging, but how it can ultimately make us less happy in the long run. Fret not! It can get better. 

Book: The Paradox of Choice by Dr. Barry Schwartz

This episode is all about reframing the way you think about your goals. We are often so focused on the outcome, and the linear path to get there, that any variant feels like failure. 

What if the pursuit of your goals, dreams, and aspirations could be an experiment? 

• How would that change the way you work? 
• How would that change the way you view outcomes? 
• How would that change your thought process and the emotions that come along with pursuing a goal?

One-on-One Coaching with Wheels

In this episode, Wheels shares her struggles with productivity anxiety, what it is, and how she has come to try to manage it. 

If you need help with anxiety or any other mental health issue, please check out:

• Headway for accessible therapy options
• The New York State Psychiatric Institute Resident's Clinic for access to therapists and psychiatrists
• Headspace for guided meditations.

Wheels has no affiliation with those resources outside of being a patient/customer. 

In this minisode, Wheels shares her planning fallacy and how she has to respond to the calls of multiple projects at once, including ones she doesn't necessarily want to do but needs to.
