Book Review: Slow Productivity

 

I listened to this audiobook because I'd read a couple of the author's prior books--Deep Work and Digital Minimalism--snd it seemed interesting enough. 

 Surprisingly, he has some interesting proposals for reimagining workflow, time management, and tasklists that I'd like to discuss with colleagues.

Newport's intended readership is what he refers to as "knowledge workers," basically white-collar office-drone types who spend their days on Slack/Teams and answering endless emails. This includes writers and perhaps also academics, and I'm curious how some of his strategies would translate to a paradigm like theatrical production, perhaps even on a level as granular as costume making.

Recommend if you feel like you can never catch up to your to-do list.
