Cal Newport is here!!!!!!! In this episode we are discussing Cal's newest book Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout.

This episode includes discussions about how modern productivity practices have become haphazard and misaligned with our human experience, leading to what Cal terms "pseudo-productivity." Discover the origins of true productivity, rooted in output rather than busyness, and learn how the digital revolution has transformed our work habits.

Cal shares his wisdom on managing workload, avoiding the pitfalls of obligation hot potato, and making steady, sustainable progress over decades. He also explores the significance of "slow childhood" and the importance of spending more time with friends and family. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to redefine their approach to productivity and achieve long-term success without the burnout. Tune in to find out why it's the perfect time to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters.
