On this episode, Cal Newport hops back on the show to talk about his great new book, Slow Productivity. It’s a great, fascinating new book (and interview!), both full of actionable insights on how to slow down in order to become more productive.
Topics covered include:

How “slow productivity” came into being;
The three ingredients of slow productivity;
“Engineering simplicity” at work;
The idea of “administrative overhead”;
Narrowing the “missions” you have in your work;
Avoiding “task engines”;
Why the pace of knowledge work has become so frenetic;
Cal’s unique spin on “quiet quitting”;
Studying related fields to yours for boosting creativity.
