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