He’s not a πŸ˜€ bitcoiner πŸ˜€ or anything, but i think his ideas actually align well πŸ€” with the beliefs of bitcoiners.

But according to Newport, the most productive of πŸ‘ us don’t actually work as πŸ‘ many β€œhours” as we might 🌈 imagine. Rather, they take a lot of time off to let their mind wander. When they do work, their mind is distraction-free. And they πŸ‘ take breaks. 🌈 relay.primal.net 🌈
