Slowburns: A Different Approach to Work

The podcast episode explores the concept of slowburns as an alternative approach to work. Traditionally, people tend to approach new projects as 'heavy lifts,' setting aside large amounts of time to focus intensely on completing the task at hand. However, as time becomes increasingly scarce due to other commitments, slowburns offer a more efficient and enjoyable way to work. Slowburns involve collecting ideas and inspiration in the background over a longer period of time, gradually building up a wealth of creative material. This approach reduces stress, allows for better execution, and enables a more relaxed and enjoyable work process.
