🎤 Panel Discussion: Slow Productivity by Cal Newport 🐢

Are you perfectly content choosing between a soul-sapping hustle culture of constant burnout and giving up on your professional ambitions altogether?

Most of us know our current definition of "productivity" is broken, yet we struggle to escape the endless task lists and ceaseless meetings. This month, instead of a standard book review, we are hosting a Special Panel Discussion to explore a radical alternative: Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout by Cal Newport.
Join us as we share the honest reality of stepping back from the daily grind and trying to apply Newport's philosophy to our own fast-paced lives. We will discuss:

• The Overload: How do we practically stop treating busyness as a proxy for useful effort?
• The Application: What does it actually look like to do fewer things, work at a natural pace, and obsess over quality in a modern job?
• The Reality: Where did we succeed in implementing these changes, and where did the modern workplace push back?

The Panelists: You’ll hear personal stories, struggles, and takeaways from members of our book club who have been exploring and applying these principles: Nuno, Jeffrey, and myself (Nat).

About the Book: As highlighted on Goodreads:

> Do fewer things. Work at a natural pace. Obsess over quality. From the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload... Drawing from deep research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of storied thinkers—from Galileo and Isaac Newton, to Jane Austen and Georgia O'Keefe—Newport lays out the key principles of "slow productivity," a more sustainable alternative to the aimless overwhelm that defines our current moment.

Who is this for? You do NOT need to have read the book to attend! This session is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their workload, interested in sustainable career growth, or curious about how to produce high-quality work without sacrificing their well-being.

Come with your questions for the panel and discover if a slower, more humane approach to productivity is exactly what you need.
