What is slow productivity? Cal Newport has been talking about this a lot recently as a possible solution for the pushback against toxic hustle culture.
I find this concept really intriguing! Because it's where slow living and productivity meet in the middle.
Cal Newport argues that slow productivity is a more sophisticated approach than simply doing less. It has 3 elements:
1. Do fewer things.
2. Do this work at a natural pace.
3. Obsess over quality.
I can’t wait for Cal Newport to write a whole book about slow productivity!
