Cal Newport - Deep Work, Minimalism, No Email

<p>In Episode 136 we do a Cal Newport deep dive. Similar to his book <a href="https://geni.us/CalDeepWork"><em>Deep Work</em>: <em>Rules for Focused Success</em></a> in a Distracted World which refers to studying for focused chunks of time without distractions such as email and social media.</p><p>Cal challenges the belief that participation in social media is important for career capital, suggesting instead that career capital is a function of creativity, impact and control, or autonomy. Cal's been an advocate for <a href="https://geni.us/Digitalminimalism"><em>"digital minimalism"</em></a><em> </em>and refers to the role email and chat play in what he calls<em> </em><a href="https://geni.us/Digitalminimalism"><em>"the hyperactive hive mind".</em> </a></p><p><br></p>
