031 - Let's Make Work — and Technology — Less Insane (with Cal Newport)
Listen now
Description
For the last couple decades, Cal Newport has been thinking about how to do quality work productively, effectively, and sustainably. His latest book Slow Productivity, a New York Times bestseller, presents a refreshingly sane idea: that we might be able to do more work and not be completely burnt out or exhausted doing it. Today, Clay and Brad sit down with Cal to talk through how that’s actually possible. Plus, as a computer scientist and productivity expert, Cal lays out his most effective work strategies and best practices for good digital hygiene.  If you are enjoying FAREWELL, do us a huge favor: text your favorite episode to three people so they can enjoy it, too.
