Julie-Roxane and I talk about different styles of decision-making and why it matters.
I bring my producer and friend, Julie-Roxane, back on the [B]OLDER podcast to talk about decision-making.
When you try to plan ahead 10, 15 or 20 years how do you make the right decisions, knowing the future is uncertain?
In this episode, Julie-Roxane and I discuss the challenges of decision-making, whether it’s deciding to have children (she's 30) or planning for old age (I'm 71).
We talk about the concept of maximiser vs. satisficer, two different approaches to decision-making. Can you guess which one is considered more effective?
And we end by reversing roles and giving each other advice about big upcoming decisions.
This is a rich intergenerational conversation. And I hope you'll tune in.
We have spent several lovely weeks in San Miguel de Allende and will be heading home by the time you read this.
And one more thing...
One of the highlights of our stay in SMA was meeting expat retiree and writer Bonnie Lee Black. She interviewed me for her weekly blog: Debbie Weil: On Purpose.
We met after I read her blog post about the "uneven sidewalks" which are a real hazard in SMA but just a fact of life. I tracked her down through her blog and invited her on to the [B]OLDER podcast to talk about life as an expat living in Mexico.. Her episode will run in late March.
