I get obsessed with my projects and find it difficult to see the wider picture so things can take me a long time to complete.

Having read your earlier student books as well as your recent work, I think I have what you call a

right mentality. I'm Cal Newport and this is a deep.

I'm Cal Newport and this is a deep questions, habit tune up mini episode.

The idea of course with this format is that I take audio questions from listeners about how to tune up their professional habits in a time when the world of work is increasingly

Disrupt it.

Now if you want to submit your own audio question for the Habit Tune-up mini episodes you can do so at

Speak Pipe.com slash Cal Newport and I encourage you to do so let give you a little bit of a peak behind a curtain.

The text questions that I submit or request that rather for the main deep questions

podcast, I get a lot of those. I think since we've started this deep questions

I get a lot of those I think since we've started this podcast in May we've had something like 2,000 questions submitted

I get much fewer of the voice questions because it takes a little bit longer to record.

Now it's still pretty easy. You can do it right in your browser, but there's just

enough friction that it really cuts down the number I get. So this is my hint.

You do have a much better chance of ending up on air if you submit a voice question for these many

episodes and again you do so at speakpipe.com slash Cal Newport.

If you want to help spread the word, ratings and reviews matter.

You know, I just went and checked those numbers on Apple.

So on Apple, the podcast has something like 330 ratings,

which is good.

But I think we're doing well over 100,000 downloads a month,

so there's probably a lot more out of you who like to show.
