Perfect timing on the piece—for me, anyway. Productivity is so fraught, a blessing and a curse. It's amazing what you can accomplish with extreme focus, but the price for that extreme focus is very high. (Burnout, etc.)
And I'm late on gettin you the book. Tomorrow, I promise.
John, Glad it speaks to your patterns for approaching productivity conversations with yourself. Exceptionally talented professionals suffer from the guilt of not doing everything they know how to do well, so letting go and saying no is harder for us.
Georgia, Thanks for this information about Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout. I'm sure it will speak directly to me (or feel that way), after having read Cal Newport's book Deep Work, several years ago.
