A World Without Email Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload

the hyperactive hive mind. That's the idea at the center of Cal Newport's new book, A World Without Email.

His latest book and the reason for his return is called slow productivity in this conversation. We talk about how we got into this mess a mess that he calls overload culture, the difference between pseudo productivity and slow productivity and the three tenants of slow productivity do fewer things work at a natural pace and obsess over quality.

having studied his problem for a while I wrote a whole book on it having study this problem for a while.

And then a book called The World Without Email that was trying to understand how work became so fractured with this communication.

It was trying to understand some of the reasons why focus is so hard. And in particular, it was like, why are we so distracted with email?

He's the best-selling author behind Deep Work, Digital Minimalism, and his latest book, Slow Productivity.

and the other one I think is called a world without email those are both linked in the show notes as well

and his latest, A World without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload.

Cal Newport, his new book, A World Without Email Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload is great, very timely, like all Cal's books give me a ton to chew on.

His time blocking calendar is great as I talked about in this new book is, he said four years in the making.

Read his book, Digital Minimalism. Definitely read Deep Work. Definitely read So Good They Can't Ignore You.

This is kind of my definitive word on the world of work.
