Today's Syllabus

Hey, September already? That is too real, man. I'm awfully glad I'm not heading back to school anytime soon, because then this would be devastating news. But I thought I'd share a few things on my radar, so consider this your reading list for today. It's like just like school, but fun!

Do You Suffer from Decision Fatigue? from the New York Times. Essentially, we have a finite amount of self-control, so as the day progresses and you have made more choices, you're more likely to get reckless or or lackadaisical about your options. This explains why last night, I got two cartons of ice cream instead of just one (but how can ANYONE be expected to decide between caramel cups and pumpkin pie, huh??)

Meet The Mollys!
 from the New York Observer. An interesting piece on online phenoms, Mollys Lambert, McAleer and Young, and the writing style they've come to epitomize.

How to Be the Luckiest Person from Think Simple Now. It just takes telling yourself, daily, that you are the luckiest person in the world. Embrace gratitude, embrace positive energy, and good things will follow. I have to remember to do this more often.

For extra credit, play around with this cool new recipe finder, Gojee. Type in what you're craving and it suggests recipes for you. Beautifully designed and it streams its recipes from a bunch of great food bloggers. You can even add in what you don't like or what you already have in your fridge, and it'll get to know you better over time.

Good job, guys. Now enjoy yourselves.
