How Do You Spend Your Downtime?
Cal Newport has done some great work in the area of deep work and productivity. If you are trying to get your act together and produce meaningful work, his books and such will get you where you need to go.
Here he has some interesting insight on the way we spend our down time. In the first 20 minutes of this episode, he breaks down the differences between slow distractions and fast distractions, and how they affect us.
Key takeaways for me:
- “The idle mind is anxiety’s playground.”
- Two new words I can now use at cocktail parties:
- simulacrum
- interstertial
Enjoy!
