Friday Linkage

It's 1:30 a.m. here, which means it's technically no longer Friday. It's been one of those weeks. Productive and challenging, exciting and stressful, I can't say that I'm sad to leave it behind. Now I'm spending the long weekend with my family in the woods, grateful for some time to catch my breath.

While you're enjoying the fall weather that's sweeping the nation, here's some weekend reading to peruse.

• Some tips for decision making. 
• A related article by The Happiness Project. Are you a satisficer or a maximizer? 
• Another article on happiness in the usual irreverent tone of Lifehacker.
• This article and this article, both published in Relevant Magazine, ask some revealing questions. They are definitely worth a read. And probably a second one.
• Anne Jackson's writing is provocative and convicting. Take some time to savor this blog post of hers this weekend. Favorite quote from the article: "What I am realizing is the extent I let my expectations control me."
• Along with the author of this post in the Cardus blog, I am learning what it means to love the revision process in writing and in life.
