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