When I feel overwhelmed I love listening to Cal Newport and getting ideas for rethinking the way I work and the structure I need.
Is it for everyone?

First off, I appreciate Cal’s work and I don’t think it’s bad to repeat yourself if you keep thinking up new ways to reframe and he does. As a woman listening to a podcast there is often a tipping point where the voices, references, questions, answers, quotes, and subject material tip so heavily to the side of men and men’s voices and opinions and lives that it doesn’t feel relatable. If it’s for everyone, can you try to be aware of when you are bro-ing out? As an interviewer I’d love to hear Cal really dive into details of what a guest is saying, but with more insights into their perspective and experiences and less about book sales (and less about Cal’s book sales…in an interview of someone else). I don’t know what your editing process is like, but sometimes you can go ahead and tell those personal stories to a guest to put them at ease and relate, but take some of it out in post especially if it’s again, just talking about your own book sales. Also, lol that how-to-mom episode. Get a good handyman and um, my job as a mom is 25-30 hours a week (I get to fit my work and intellectual life around my family and my spouse’s job and not the other way around) so your 1 thing a day was cute.
Amazing

Great advice not only for a more productive and sustainable work life - but also for a deeper life outside work. Love Cal’s books and podcast.
