Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Obsess Over Quality

Obsessing over quality leads to escaping busyness and moving towards sustainable productivity, making it a natural and attractive approach. This mindset shifts the focus from being busy and frenetic to striving for excellence and mastery in one's work. By slowing down, individuals can dedicate time to improve their craft, refine their skills, and create impactful outcomes rather than engaging in superficial activities. This principle applies not only to creative endeavors like producing music but also to knowledge workers, where taking the time to perfect one's work yields more meaningful and lasting results.
