More Halloween Mixes To Combat Decision Fatigue
by Robert Lamb | October 26, 2012
If you’re throwing a Halloween shindig this year, you know the anguish that comes with putting together a spectacular playlist. Is “Monster Mash” too lame? Is “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” kosher with my converging friend groups? Decisions, decisions, decisions.
And of course all those decisions lead to decision fatigue. Think too long and hard over playlists and pizza topping early in the day and you’ll be hard pressed to make a call on the big stuff later on. Julie and I did a podcast episode on the topic and there’s a great New York Times article on the topic.
Save yourself some mental anguish and leave the Halloween tunes to a professional DJ.
Now let’ get funky.
