pickThis was a thought provoking book about knowledge workers, unnecessary busy-ness and what quality truly looks like in the work world. It gave me a lot to think about and I‘m so grateful that the staff leadership at my organization is reading this together. A lot of work/self help/productivity books fall flat for me but this was worth the read! #BookspinBingo
so-soI skimmed this because of course I am no good at slow. Good ideas here — allow twice as much time for projects as you think you need because you actually need that long.
pickI have read three of this author‘s books and I am surprised that this one has some ideas I want to bring up at work.

pickI enjoyed this book as I have the few others of Newport‘s I have read. I like his reframing of ideas and reevaluating cultural norms. His writing causes me to think more about the topics he covers. This one considered the influence of different things on knowledge based jobs. I liked how he wrapped up the second half sharing helpful ways to incorporate the information into real life.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I‘ve read a few of Newport‘s books, and this is the one I found to be the most realistic and actionable, by far. I‘ve been trying to rethink the way I approach work for the last few months, and a lot of that is in line with the advice here about doing fewer things, working at a reasonable pace, and focusing on quality. I‘m hopeful that as I get better at that, work will feel both more manageable and more fulfilling.
