SLOW PRODUCTIVITY

The Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout by Cal Newport
(From Big Think)

1. Do fewer things (at once) - avoid attention "residence" (the cost of task switching)
2. Work at a natural pace (accept seasonal differences) Ed. sunshine, monthly cycles, menopause
3. Obsess over quality (Invest in better tools and create better systems)

Ed. In other words:
Do less, better
