I’ve shared a few posts this week from Slow Productivity (Cal Newport) and thought I’d close the loop with my own takeaways.
The three concepts that stood out for me were:
Pull-based workflow - Finish what’s in front of you, then pull the next thing.
Work cycles - Work in seasons of focus, then rest before the next one. (This one I’ve tried something similar by doing the 12 Week Year, which I really like, but find it can be hard to stick to it but I would really like to get back to it).
Company of One - That bigger is not always better and enough can actually be enough.
All three together made me really think a lot about how I could build and run my own projects with less chasing and more intentional choices.
Thanks for the conversations this week. I would love to hear if you had one takeaway from these ideas? Which one would fit you best right now?
