Interesting post about how to think differently about RSS. I know that for me, if I am not reading my RSS feed daily, it can be overwhelming.

Clever title — a #review of the #book "Slow Productivity" by Cal Newport:
"Another Productivity Hack?" [2024], Commonweal (https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/another-productivity-hack).

To combat this, Cal advocates limiting yourself to three missions, three active projects, and one daily goal.

Great primer of every major topic Cal Newport talked about in the last couple of years.

“We feel busy because we feel the pressure of time through our timekeeping devices. Time feels constrained and scarce when we have devices constantly counting down and reminding us of our next obligation.”
I keep making the same mistake: lots of changes at once, so this time, im just going to focus on tracking my food for this month. #habits #slowproductivity #atomichabits
For individual contributors, Newport has great suggestions:
- Limit Daily Goals
- Combine Rituals and Locations
- Docket-Clearing team meetings (manage that backlog!)
- Take Your Time
- Have long term goals
- Meeting Free time every week
- Invest in High Quality Tools
What would you add? I'd add kaizen!

Cal Newport calls it "slow productivity".
I call it the true challenge of the iron triangle.
Don't fall for the trap of good, or fast, or cheap, or even "pick two".
Go for all 3.
Get there through #kaizen, #creativity, and #teamwork.

In seinem aktuellen Buch #SlowProductivity beschreibt Cal Newport drei Prinzipien als Beitrag zu einer Temporeduktion im (Arbeits)Leben. Aber es gibt auch ein viertes Prinzip, auf das man beim Lesen immer wieder aufmerksam wird ...

@buster on that note this comes highly recommended :D https://www.penguin.com.au/books/slow-productivity-9780241652916 #slowproductivity #booksofmastodon
I had seen a few quotes and comments here about this book on 'Slow Productivity' by Cal Newport. So I bought it, I've read it, and I recommend it to other academics.
If the title sounds off-putting don't worry, this is a book of useful strategies to find quality time in any 'creative industry' job.
Turns out I'd been using the strategies throughout my career. It was great to read about why they have worked for me.
I'm still a work in progress when it comes to rewiring my brain about what being productive actually means. Today, for instance, I feel extremely productive for having ticked off all the items on my to-do list. But I should've also felt productive yesterday when I decided to take things slow and take a breather from Monday's back-to-back meetings. After all, getting proper rest is crucial to minimizing stress.
Disappointed by Cal Newport's "Slow Productivity":
Sarah Lang takes a deep dive into Newport's latest release, which #productivity buffs will recognize as a "greatest hits" of his other books 👇
Here's a Medium article I wrote: "Slow Productivity and Cybersecurity." It references Cal Newport's book "Slow Productivity" in the context of cybersecurity. If you think others might like to learn more about this topic, please boost for reach. #infosec #cybersecurity #slowproductivity

I'm reading "Slow Productivity" by Cal Newport. There are quite a number of items in this book that apply directly to cybersecurity workloads. Here's a quote I love: "A key tenet of slow productivity is that grand achievement is built on the steady accumulation of modest results over time. This path is long. Pace yourself." #infosec #cybersecurity #slowproductivity
Liking Slow Productivity by Cal Newport. Especially the part on defining what even is productivity? A well timed book.
> Pseudo productivity, the use of visible activity as the primary means of approximating actual productive effort.
Which is a measure being used for much of the generative AI research… 1/
Slow is a quality, not primarily a speed. Even IT pundits are finally getting the message:
"We urgently need to consider how we might make all of our key IT infrastructure “slow”."
@annaecook On that note, I’m looking forward to reading #CalNewport’s “#SlowProductivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout”, which should be available in March.
