Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Cal Newport on his process for writing blog posts

Blogger and writer, Cal Newport, discusses his weekly writing process. He used to write three blog posts a week, but now focuses on one longer, more thoughtful essay per week as a leisure activity. He typically writes in the evenings, and sometimes enjoys an adult beverage while doing so. He can write and edit a post in about an hour to 90 minutes, and often writes ideas in his head earlier in the day. Writing comes naturally to Newport as he is a writer for a living. He distinguishes a deep life from a good life, which may help him in his upcoming book.
