Thanks Cal!
Helpful
Thank you Cal for sharing your wisdom. You contribute to improve my quality of life on a daily basis.
As a deep reader, It would be wonderful to have your podcast on transcript as I prefer to read.
Stay deep.
Super helpful!
I have been working from home since March 2020 (due to Covid) and struggling with productivity. I started listening from the beginning and these podcasts have been an AMAZING “crash course” in Cal Newport’s methods and philosophies. My productivity has greatly improved, and I look forward to reading his books to get even more detail about implementing different strategies. He has a wealth of knowledge and helps listeners understand how to apply these methods to their specific life/work situations (everything from stay-at-home parent, to teacher, to high-level executive).
