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