I’ve read Deep Work and 👍 listened 🎉 to Slow Productivity on audio. 👍 Both 🤔 good books. 👍 His 🎉 major podcast 😀 appearances are 👍 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 💯 thesis is essentially that 🔥 success emerges from deep, distraction-free focus. The fiat 👍 world tells us 😀 that we 👍 just need to work longer hours 🎉 to 👍 find success. But according to Newport, the most 👍 productive of us don’t 🔥 actually work as many “hours” 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 take breaks.
