We often tend to overcomplicate our approaches to productivity. There are so many methods, routines, and practices that promise to increase our performance and output. I’ve been experimenting with so many different approaches and discovered that the secret is often in just doing less. Enter Cal Newports’ Slow Productivity approach from his now book Slow Productivity (2024)
This is a 3 pronged approach that includes
- Do Fewer Things
- Work at a Natural Pace
- Obsess over Quality
For me, Slow Productivity has been an exceptional approach to avoiding burnout without stopping productivity altogether, and so I made a detailed breakdown of it here if you’d like to know more – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbAASlk-9Zc
Hope this might shift your approach and help you find a more efficient way to handle life and work. Thanks!
