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