 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.
