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