Some highlights we explore: How Newton’s work habits can be integrated into modern productivity practices. Why focusing on single tasks is more effective than multitasking. Advice on reducing social media's impact to regain focus. Techniques from Cal’s new book to accomplish more without burning out. And more! Enjoy!
