The Every little thing you think that you need every little thing you think that you need every little thing

that you need every little thing that's just feeding your greed oh I bet that you'll be fine without it.

You're listening to the minimalist podcast with Joshua Fields

Milburn and T.K. Coleman.

Thank you, Malabama.

Hello, everybody.

Today on the show, we are joined by Cal Newport,

a professor of computer science at Georgetown,

where he is also a founding member of the Center for Digital Ethics.

Cal is a New York Times best-selling author who writes about the intersection of technology,

productivity, and culture.

His latest book is called

Slow Productivity.

Coming up on this free public minimal episode,

a caller has a question about the modern need

to be busy and productive in the workplace.

Then we've got a different kind of lightning round segment today.

Cal is going to try to convince the minimal minimalist that we should quit social media.

We've also got an interesting listener tip for you.

You can check out the full Maximal Edition of episode 435, where we answer five times the questions and we dive deep

into several simple living segments. That private podcast episode is out right

now at Patreon.com slash the minimalist.
