This lost art approach, famous creatives who had huge amounts of flexibility to experiment with what works and what doesn't for trying to use your brain to create things that are new and original and valuable.

And my idea was, let me isolate from these creatives the principles that they came up with.

And then once we've isolated those principles, I can adapt them to the 21st century.

That's what I call it the lost art, because we'll go all the way, you know, Newton and Galileo. We'll look at Jane Austen. My approach was I want to sort of find these timeless principles for producing stuff that matters without burning out and then adapt them to. So what does this mean for me in my job or my pursuits in the 21st centuries?

Hello, everyone and welcome to another episode of the show.

I'm your host, Chase, and we are here at the Chase Travis Live Show.

Today's guest is a legend.

Cal Newport is a professor of computer science at Georgetown University,

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

Now, in addition to all this academic work, he is a very well-known author, the author of numerous New York Times bestsellers.

He writes at the intersection of technology, of productivity, and culture, a couple of the titles that you've probably heard of in the past.

Deep Work. That was a book that profoundly affected how art. and culture, a couple of the titles that you've probably heard of in the past, deep work.

That was a book that profoundly affected how I thought about work. Also, be so good they can't ignore you. And in this episode, today I'm very excited to host him to talk about his new book,

which is called Slow Productivity. Even the title, right? It's very seductive. We all want to be productive.

And I think rightly so, we want to do it at a pace that does not lead to burnout. That is the

essence of our discussion today, how to be that focus driven person that we all, I feel

like, want to be and how to do so

sustainably over time, create great, great work. I mean, like everything that Cal does,

this particular title and our discussion today is so well timed. We cover a lot of details,

actionable advice in here. And it's just a, it's a beautiful conversation. I'm very excited

to share it with you today

again enjoy the show yours truly and cal newport cal newport welcome to the show it's great to
