317 Cal Newport's Slow Productivity Book Review
If you've been hearing buzz about Cal Newport's new book "Slow Productivity" and wondering if it's worth your time, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down the three core principles of slow productivity and sharing my honest take on how they apply to real life, especially for those of us juggling work and caregiving responsibilities.

Whether you're a consultant, writer, researcher, or anyone whose job involves deep thinking and creating, understanding slow productivity could shift how you approach your workday.
