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.
pickI‘m going to need to either check this out again or get my own copy because I didn‘t take notes and there‘s so much good stuff in here.
This one really resonated with me. Last fall, I was let go from what I now realize was a really toxic company and I was suffering major burnout. I picked this up around the time I was starting a serious hunt for a new job and this really helped me narrow in on what I wanted my next opportunity to look like.
"Doing fewer things is the key to producing good work." How on earth can I get my boss and my boss' boss to read this book? This is clearly not a concept they are familiar with.
pickNothing revolutionary, but some great reminders.
“You'll always need to use multiple platforms to move your projects forward. No single platform can do everything. The intention here is not to use a single software program, but to use a single organizing system, one that provides consistency even as you switch between apps many times per day.” 🤯
pickThis is amazingly helpful. I bet I have to reread parts of it to get the most out of it and remember all the helpful stuff!
Now things with bullet journaling begins to click. I never really thought about the reason behind specific logs. And I've never done the migration or reflection part!
In short, I didn't do it right. So I'll try again and this time I have specific times set aside for journaling, too.
So worth it to buy this book!
Heard about this book from the Ezra Klein show. I‘m only partway through the episode and already fascinated. The author looks at attention as a factor of wellbeing, not productivity. I‘ve excited to finish the episode and read the book!
"We need to reduce the number of decisions we burden ourselves with so we can focus on what matters."

Ooooh 😍 I just received an email gifting me a copy of We are Bookish's reading journal. Did anyone else get one? I usually log my reading in a diary.
I'd be grateful for tips on journalling from any journalling Littens. 📚📒✒️👓
