Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Lifestyle Centric Career Planning

Having a self-centered mindset when it comes to your professional life can be dangerous. Constantly seeking something better could lead to dissatisfaction and constant change, whether it be changing majors as a student or switching jobs. This constant anxiety and quitting has negative consequences. Instead of this mindset, one should adopt lifestyle centric career planning. This involves creating a clear vision of what you want your life to be like in the future, considering all aspects of your life. This vision should be visceral, capturing how you want to feel, what you want to see and hear, and the rhythm of your daily life. It's important to consider not only work but also other aspects of your life outside of work. By having a clear vision of your ideal lifestyle, you can then work backwards to determine how to move your life in that direction.
