Episode notes

The chapter explores a shift towards anti-productivity due to overwhelming work demands and stresses exacerbated by the pandemic, leading to a realization of the negative impacts of constant busyness. It discusses reclaiming time by prioritizing physical well-being and quality work over visible busyness, advocating for a more balanced approach. The conversation delves into the challenges of pseudo productivity in modern workplaces and the need to redefine productivity beyond traditional norms.

In this episode, the proverbial tables are turned, with Cal being interviewed by Jordan Harbinger about time, focus, and the quest for a slower notion of productivity. (This interview originally aired as episode 975 Jordan's can’t-miss podcast, The Jordan Harbinger Show).
