Episode notes

The world of work is going to look much better. I enjoy it a lot more five years from now. The question is where on that timeline do you actually start making those changes and my push to people's like mine will start today. Like might as well start that journey today because that's going to be one less day that you're completely drowning in the hive mind.

Cal Newport is the author of Deep Work and So Good They Can’t Ignore You and Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World. Cal's new book is A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload. In this conversation Cal talks about the real problem with modern knowledge work, how email and other tech plays into it, how the problem started and how to start getting ahead in the new world of knowledge work that is coming soon.
