Great article (and book) by Cal Newport about the benefits of Slow Productivity:
A philosophy for organizing knowledge work efforts in a sustainable and meaningful manner, based on the following three principles:
Do fewer things.
Work at a natural pace.
Obsess over quality.
This philosophy rejects busyness, seeing overload as an obstacle to producing results that matter, not a badge of pride. It also posits that professional efforts should unfold at a more varied and humane pace, with hard periods counterbalanced by relaxation at many different timescales, and that a focus on impressive quality, not performative activity, should underpin everything. The philosophy’s core principles include, providing both theoretical justification for why they’re right and concrete advice on how to take action on them in your specific professional life, regardless of whether you run your own company or work under the close supervision of a boss.
