    #303: Are You Over-Optimizing?

    I've spent my whole life OPTIMIZING and the last few years learning how much I might have passed the mark...oops! Today's show discusses what Over-Optimizing looks like, how to recognize it, and issues a very important invitation: watch an episode of TV without doing anything else at the same time. Can you handle it? (If your hands tingle at the idea of not multi-tasking watching a show, this episode is for you!)
