Cal Newport

What was getting in the way of that?

Did you have a particularly good session?

Tell everyone else about it.

Like what worked?

Oh, I see, you did music, you have a different look.

Oh, let's all think, you know, hey, here's a good idea that we can borrow.

Make deep work.

Culturally, something you talk about as like, this is a tier one skill that we're really proud about.

You do those things, you're not gonna 2X your profitability.

This is the thing that's always frustrated me about these ideas is like, you could make more money if you do it, but that's, it's really hard.

Those changes I just talked about,

It's hard, there's friction, there's personalities, and this is the thing I really underestimated when I wrote those books.

The way we work now is like a low energy point, right?

It's like the easiest possible configuration of work.

So if you feel friction, you're trying to do something more structured, you're trying to do something that makes better use of our brain, and you're getting resistance,

The place you're going to fall when you give up is the way we're doing it now.

So it's not arbitrary, I've realized.

This hyperactive hive mind, let's just figure things out on the flow, no workload management.

It's not arbitrary.

It's the low energy.
