Achieving a remarkable life involves natural variation in intensity, as seen in the approach of creatives like movie directors who work intensely on a project and then take complete breaks. This varied intensity allows individuals to tackle hard tasks effectively and then take time off before the next project. This approach, highlighted in the concept of 'Slow Productivity,' is essential as projects become more challenging. The paradox of remarkable lives appearing less busy is due to the unrelated nature of busyness to being remarkably good. Remarkability arises from skill, and busyness acts as an obstacle. Hence, pursuing a remarkable life does not involve adding more tasks to one's plate, as it is crafted through skill and not an abundance of action.
