Ep. 24: Habit Tune-Up: Slaying the Productivity Hydra, Upgrading Careers, and Mastering a Difficult Job

In this mini-episode, I take "calls" from listeners asking for advice about how best to tune-up their productivity and work habits in a moment of increased distraction and disruption. You can submit your own audio questions at speakpipe.com/calnewport. Here are the topics we cover: * Coping with surprise shallow tasks (aka., "slaying the productivity hydra") [2:09] * Reading strategies for PhD students [12:37] * Switching to a more fulfilling career [16:33] * Improve or quit in response to a challenging new job [24:32] As always, if you enjoy the podcast, please considering subscribing or leaving a rating/review.
