Episode notes
Focusing on doing fewer things but working hard on them over a longer period increases productivity. By doing fewer things at once, the rate of completing tasks actually goes up, contrary to the misconception of doing less work. The administrative overhead that comes with saying yes to tasks, such as emails and meetings, contributes to a pile-up that fragments and reduces the time available to execute work. By minimizing the number of tasks at once, the pace of completing work accelerates, leading to higher productivity and efficiency.
