Finished Reading: Slow Productivity by Cal Newport 📚
Principals
- Do Fewer Things: Reducing one’s obligations to a manageable level, allowing for a deeper focus and advancement on a small number of projects that truly matter. Use pull methodology with WIP (Kanban).
- Work at a Natural Pace: This principle is about giving significant projects the time they deserve, allowing them to unfold along a timeline conducive to brilliance, rather than pushing for immediate completion. Don’t burnout.
- Obsess Over Quality: Quality, rather than merely completing tasks, leads to more meaningful and fulfilling work. This obsession with quality serves as the glue holding the practice of slow productivity together. Excellence justifies the few and pace.
