Manage episode 450309762 series 2526899
5 practices to adopt and 3 bad habits to avoid to improve mental clarity and decision-making.
This episode covers some of the best lessons from Cal Newport's writing on Deep Work and Slow Productivity. We focus on becoming deeper thinkers who question easy answers and build opinions from a place of deep understanding.
Top lessons:
- How to avoid shallow thinking traps
- Understand where your opinions come from
- Interval Training for concentration
- Ways to think like an intellectual
- Increase your working memory
- Understand ideas from multiple perspectives
- Enjoy slower and more purposeful progress
This episode is a blueprint for building wisdom and clarity of thought and we can't recommend Cal Newport's work enough and his ideas shared in this episode.
