Episode notes
- It can be astonishing how little time it actually takes to produce good, impressive, productive work.
- This is the biggest issue I think with our epidemic of overload and busyness right now is that we take as a given that how we approach work is just what work means.
- This sort of frenzied long hour email slack back and forth on Zoom.
- And so when we think about productivity or producing, we think about just we have to do more and more of this. We think of it as a game of who can actually tolerate the pain of longer and longer hours of this frantic frenzy.
- What Danny discovered is that do not do not assume the way most people work is what work means. If you're careful about what matters and what doesn't, if you focus on the things that are important, you can produce good, impressive work even if you're not working long hours.
