	Description:		In this episode, we discuss happiness and whether or not it is a worthy pursuit. We also share our thoughts on single-tasking versus multi-tasking. What you’ll hear: How we define happiness Some problems with our cultural perception of happiness Other worthy pursuits Why multi-tasking is overrated How personality affects your ability to multi-task Tips for successfully single-tasking Can I quote you on that? “It (the pursuit of happiness) alludes to a false sense that you can control your life.” - Maggie “We can miss some really valuable things while we’re busy seeking happiness.” - Jacey “The desire to be happy and content is not bad on it’s own. I think we have put a disproportionate amount of value on it so that it has overshadowed the value of things like perserverence or patience or commitment.” - Maggie “Something that can be a downfall of pursuing the emotion of happiness is that you become self-centered.” - Maggie “Happiness is the moment before you need more happiness.” - Don Draper (Mad Men) “What if our pursuit was the happiness of others?” - Maggie “Sometimes we think we’re doing something ot be happy, but its actually something that’s either there to numb pain or to be a quick fix.” - Jacey “We have mis-categorized things as creating happiness when actually they are filling voids.” - Maggie “I don’t want you to be happy, I want so much more for you than that.” - Jacey “The good kind of multitasking is when you’re utilizing noncompeting facets of yourself." - Maggie “At the end of my days, I don’t just want to be like ‘I read a lot of internet articles, and I had a pretty OK Instagram feed, and I tweeted some things'.” - Jacey Links: How to leave an iTunes review: Naptime Diaries Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl "Happiness Isn't the Absence of Negative Feelings" "Happiness Is Not the Goal" "Pursue Happiness, But in Moderation" Allie at The Wonder Jam and her batch-tasking article Thoughts, questions, comments?
