I realized I am more productive when I start my morning slow, go for a walk and have my breakfast. I used to jump straight to work and I felt horrible, which negatively impacted my productivity.
I think I have subconsciously operating under slow productivity but I beat myself up about it. What has worked is syncing my productivity, exercise, and diet to my cycle. Loved this video. Makes me feel ok about my energy and attention fluctuations.
Hi Katie, this was a beautiful video but I think you severely under-credited Cal Newport. You’ve outlined his work almost verbatim, but only mentioned him once briefly as a proponent of slow productivity when in fact you summarized his entire book. Please take this as constructive feedback as I love your content but more credit was due. ❤
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I haven’t actually read Cal Newport’s book yet, but I’ve just ordered it and am really looking forward to understanding his ideas in-depth. The research for this video was based on various online articles, many of which highlighted Newport's influence on the topic, but I guess I was ignorant as to precisely **how** much of that research was directly from Cal himself. I always aim to provide proper credit, so I truly appreciate your feedback - it helps me improve and stay accurate. I’m adding a link to his book in the video description right now. Thanks again for your support and thoughtful comment! ❤
