How to Accomplish Far More While Working Less (ft. Cal Newport)

Video Description

Originally published on March 13, 2024 What if there was a way to accomplish meaningful work—without the associated relationship breakdowns or stress? What if “making an impact” didn’t require massive amounts of energy or sacrifice? What if you could get more done by doing less? In this episode, I talk to Cal Newport about how knowledge work has got it all wrong. We discuss the subtle dangers of remote/digital work and the key to avoiding burnout, all while still being able to grind on the things you love. If you’re a stressed out, overworked remote worker, this one is for you. Cal Newport is a professor of computer science at Georgetown University, but he’s best known for his New York Times bestselling books about the intersection of technology, productivity, and work culture. His books have sold millions of copies and been translated into over forty languages. His newest one is called “Slow Productivity: Accomplishment Without Burnout.” Cal’s website: https://calnewport.com/ Cal's writing for The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/cal-newport Cal’s latest book, Slow Productivity: https://www.amazon.com/Slow-Productivity-Accomplishment-Without-Burnout/dp/0593544854 Sign up for Your Next Breakthrough, a weekly newsletter that will make you a less awful person: https://markmanson.net/breakthrough My stuff: https://markmanson.net/ https://instagram.com/markmanson/ https://twitter.com/IAmMarkManson https://facebook.com/Markmansonnet/ https://linkedin.com/in/markmanson/ https://www.tiktok.com/@iammarkmanson
