The more I go in time the more I resonate with the word 'slow' - slow productivity, slow living, slow thinking, slow breathing :)

@SouravGhoshji 2 года назад

Same feeling. As the world is getting more rushed, I am slowing down happily 😊

@waynesanders1406 2 года назад

I have been being slowly productive since I quit my last job a month ago and it's been very effective. Each day I get one, or maybe 2 things, done that move the needle. Right now I am fixing up a secondary car to sell so any one thing could take a few hours to do as it is, but between sleeping properly, going to the gym, watching a few hours of useful things on YT like this, and developing some other side-projects that interest me related to a future business... my days are packed and well implemented. I am much happier. I used to try to force myself to get in the garage and work on something to get it done as quickly as possible with impatience. That always resulted in breaking things or skipping something that had me going back and redoing it later on. Patience is a virtue.

I've been really intrigued by Cal Newport's emerging thoughts on "slow productivity" lately. Not just on the Tim Ferriss show, but also on his own podcast. I've embraced slow living last year, but one thing I struggle with it: slowing down is all good, but how do make sure I still get things done? I'm looking to find the balance between slow living and productivity. Slow living is not the end-all-be-all answer to being overworked. A lot of us DO want to be productive, achieve/build something. Just not to the point of burn-out. A lot of us can't just go to our boss and say: "Hey, from now on I'm going to do less." Merging the ideas behind slow living with productivity might be a better option. I'm hoping Cal indeed writes this book on Slow Productivity!

I'm thinking about trying to negotiate with my work a 9 months on/3 months off schedule. For 9 months, I'm going hard. For 3 months, I'm off doing my own thing. I think this could be a good solution.

Go part time if you can afford to. And lower your expectations for non work stuff ie house, time spent at the gym etc. Reassess if you need to do all the things you do or as much of each task.

@paulandreaytona5212 2 года назад

I totally agree that we are hardwired when we accomplish something, it feels good. That hardwire short circuits is when there is too much on our plate! This is so true> Thank you for this video! This root cause is so essential to know.

@brigittekrause3944 2 года назад

This clip is phenomenal. I'm currently on sick leave due to burnout and trying to re-evaluate my work habits and boundaries as a whole (in work and life) and this interview and the thoughts on slow productivity and everything that Cal Newport mentioned immediately made me think of so many things, taking some notes on my thoughts, thank you for sharing this.

@Pinkyinthebrain 2 года назад

Using the right tools, I feel adjusting the time stress, might help boost creativity and reduce employee burnout. I feel employees in todays workplaces have so much time stress. Employees are either experiencing a lack of management or have management looking to harshly at employees, deeming them as incompetent if unable to perform like a computer with faster processing ability. As an employee, I feel the choice is stress or failure. Failing to meet high expectations at work could mean personally losing pride and sense of worth, which could cause even greater issues including loosing everything. If businesses had time to see how they could improve the process maybe they could see the person performing the work as a person and maybe then there could be hope for a steady future and happiness.

Love the knowledge bombs Tim. Finding your videos and reading 4 hour work week helped me re-wire the way I think permanently. Love this concept discussed here!

Don’t have time to listen because of busyness, but the idea resonates with me a lot. Cheers

@erikklein1434 2 года назад

I was just thinking about this idea of "slow productivity" vs. "fast productivity" but a bit differently, calling it "macro-productivity" and "micro-productivity." Both are necessary, not one or the other. It's being able to zoom into the details but also being able to zoom out to see the bigger picture. I think most of our problems come from forgetting to zoom out. Day-to-day, the stock market can rise and fall FAST. But when you zoom out, you see the general trend, which is much less scary, and generally upwards.

Cool. More of Cal. Read his book 10y ago!

very interesting

@wirezts Год назад

I like it in principle, but it takes away a lot of accountability to get the small things done that add up and compound to the 5 year goals. I believe Cal was onto something earlier in the video when he was talking about overload. The answer is in one project/task at a time and taking as long as you need on that before moving onto the next.

Great points man. I’ve been stressing about this all day, wanting to finish and album and get NFTs of it sold by this week. Just changed the goal to next month cause I’ve only got 1 song done

I'm working on an album too! Slow and steady wins the race I guess haha!

Great podcast,like always , yet please Mr Ferris , try to stabilise your camera , no matter where you are and a little effort of your sound quality , please

@joaodfbravo 2 года назад

The idea of pursuing goals like "I want to write a book in the next 2 years" does not seem that useful to me because I know I usually procrastinate on goals that are that much far away in time. There is this feeling of having time to spare until the deadline.

@africarib 2 года назад

That's where you build in deadlines with bite size achievable goals along the 2 years so there is constant progress with built in time scarcity.

I like watching old videos of interviews from the past. It ‘feels’ as the older generations complained about the same things. They complained that the world was needlessly ‘ faster’. (Going nowhere ‘fast’ imo)Their world ‘seemed’ slower when in fact it was focused and intentional. Things were made to be excellent and they were made to last… I feel like an old soul stuck in this fast world that I did not subscribe to…

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:17 📚 Cal Newport is contemplating writing a book on "slow productivity," a concept he was actively working on before the interview. 01:12 🔄 Newport's ideas on slow productivity are still in the development phase, undergoing constant refinement. 01:54 🧠 The human brain is wired for planning and executing tasks, but overload disrupts this natural drive, leading to stress and unhappiness. 03:07 💻 Traditional "fast productivity" focuses on short-term goals and is not compatible with how the human brain operates. 04:02 📅 Newport's concept of "slow productivity" aims to focus on long-term, meaningful goals, aligning better with human cognitive functions. 05:09 🏢 Current workplace practices are incompatible with slow productivity, as they overload individuals with tasks. 05:35 ⏳ Slow productivity could be the solution to the "epidemic of busyness," as it aligns better with human cognitive functions.

I would love to transform my projects (I'm an architect) into 5 years projects, but how would I get paid? I find this to be the real missmatch. I love my job, but unfortunately can't turn architecture into a 4 hour work week/5 year slow project kind of thing... That's what I would like to solve 😅 Any ideias Tim? Love your content!
