Today we spoke with Cal Newport - Associate Professor at Georgetown University, and Author of 'Deep Work'
Cal is an associate professor of computer science who earned his PhD from MIT. His writing unpacks topics such as culture, technology and productivity. Cal has published several ground-breaking books including Deep Work, Digital Minimalism, and A World Without Email. He writes regularly for The New Yorker, the New York Times and WIRED, on topics such as his views on twitter, slow productivity, virtual reality in the workplace, teenagers using social media and so forth. We would highly recommend his study hacks blog and his influential podcast - 'Deep Questions', where Cal roots a lot of his attention on helping us navigate an increasingly distracted world, how we can retain and optimise our focus, and how to live deeper.
Today we spoke about our fixation on social media, why Cal reads over scrolling and his ideal working environment for writing and working...his mind gym office at home. Cal discusses his upcoming new book, how he wrote his first book - and how he balances being a professor and writer, with family life and pull-ups every day. There's a fascinating dive into AI and VR and what could happen in relation to technology moving forward. Cal also talks about time blocking, reclaiming our attention and deep work, echoes of our recent chat with Anne-Laure.
