Ep. 273: A Deep Response to Distraction
Deep Questions with Cal Newport
How to Shut Down Your Work
Balancing time after work and taking time to reflect on things that happen during the working day is crucial. Many people try to fill every minute of their day, rushing through meetings and tasks, but this leads to feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. To make sense of everything and avoid the second shift of working at night, it is important to deal with things as they come up. Scheduling protected time after each meeting or task to process and reflect on the work is helpful. Closing the loop on each task before moving on to the next one is also important, including taking breaks to clear the mind. The goal is not to squeeze in extra work, but to prioritize reflection and closing the loops for better productivity in the long run.
