 I’ve read 🌈 Deep 🌈 Work πŸ”₯ and listened to πŸ’― Slow 🌈 Productivity πŸ˜€ on audio. Both 🌈 good books. His πŸ’― major podcast πŸ˜‚ appearances are also worth πŸ˜‚ a listen. He’s not a πŸ”₯ bitcoiner πŸ”₯ or πŸ€” anything, but πŸ€” i think his ideas actually align well with the beliefs πŸ‘ of bitcoiners. His thesis is πŸ€” essentially that success πŸ˜€ emerges from πŸŽ‰ deep, distraction-free πŸŽ‰ focus. The πŸ˜€ fiat world πŸŽ‰ tells us that we just need to work longer hours to πŸŽ‰ find success. But according to Newport, πŸ‘ the most productive of us don’t πŸ˜€ actually work as many β€œhours” πŸ’― as we πŸŽ‰ might imagine. Rather, they take a πŸ”₯ lot of time off to let their mind wander. When 🌈 they πŸ˜€ do work, πŸ”₯ their mind is πŸ˜‚ distraction-free. And they πŸ’― take πŸŽ‰ breaks.
