Notes¶
“Slow Productivity” challenges our current definition of productivity, which often pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort. The result? Impossibly lengthy task lists, ceaseless meetings, and the constant threat of burnout.
Here are the key principles of slow productivity: 1. Do Fewer Things: Rather than chasing endless tasks, focus on what truly matters. Quality over quantity. 2. Work at a Natural Pace: Reject the soul-sapping hustle culture. Embrace a rhythm that aligns with your natural energy. 3. Obsess over Quality: Shift your focus from speed to excellence. Long-term impact matters more than immediate results.
