Deep Questions with Cal Newport
The Success of Generalism Coupled with Structure
Generalism can be successful when coupled with structure to prevent it from becoming a mere excuse for pursuing what is interesting. Having a structured approach helps in capturing feedback on what is working and what is not, enabling continual improvement. By adopting a mindset of 'studying like Darwin,' where one evaluates methods and constantly evolves based on feedback, individuals can enhance productivity and efficiency in various aspects of their work or projects. The key is to be specific in assessing what is effective, what needs improvement, and where inefficiencies lie, leading to a process of smart experimentation, learning, and adaptation for future endeavors.
