Definition: Slow Productivity

Slow productivity is a new approach to work that redefines productivity by focusing on producing meaningful and valuable things in a sustainable and satisfying way. It challenges the traditional notion of productivity and offers an alternative that aligns with our human instincts and the way our brains are wired. Slow productivity is centered around three principles: doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality.

Slow productivity offers benefits at the individual and company level, allowing for the creation of valuable products while providing a satisfying work experience.
