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