I read a chapter of Slow Productivity by Cal Newport for you

In this episode, I dive into Cal Newport's Slow Productivity, focusing on the chapter titled "Obsess Over Quality." This chapter explores how a relentless focus on producing high-quality work can be more sustainable and fulfilling than simply working to make more money. In this chapter, Cal Newport argues that obsessing over the quality of your output naturally slows down your pace but leads to better, more meaningful results. Adopting a craftsperson's approach to your work—where excellence is the primary goal—can reduce burnout and increase satisfaction. By concentrating on fewer projects but executing them exceptionally well, you build a reputation and create work that stands the test of time. Quality work takes time. Embracing the slower pace as a feature, not a bug, of sustainable productivity.This chapter resonated with me as a reminder that constantly churning out content or projects isn't always the answer. Sometimes, the most productive thing we can do is slow down and ensure what we're creating truly matters.You may also like Binge by Tyler Oakley: https://www.honeyandhustle.co/i-read-a-chapter-of-binge-by-tyler-oakley-for-you/Thanks for listening!
