Cal Newport: Lifestyle Design, Slow Productivity and Contrarian Writing
Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal
Try Slow Productivity
Slow productivity is a new approach to knowledge work that focuses on producing meaningful and valuable things in a sustainable and satisfying way. It involves doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality. Slow productivity aligns knowledge work with our human instincts and the way our brain is wired. It can be highly productive for companies and satisfying for individuals. This approach is based on centuries of existing cultures of knowledge workers and is supported by neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy. It emphasizes the value and impact of doing things of value with our minds, rather than just being busy with tasks. The concept of slow productivity also aligns with the deep history of work for humans, which involves not being overloaded, varying intensity, and spending time applying hard-won skills.
