It's incredible how the screen sucks you into it and you're like hypnotized by it for a long time. I don't even have a smart phone so I'm free when I'm not home, but the computer is doing that too. Usually my idea is to put some music playing, but then something happens.. Another hour gone.. Time to grow, realizing it is the first step. Thank you for another great podcast!

All business owners need a CRM to manage tasks and client convo. I live on my CRM as a realtor. I used to struggle before. My mind could not manage all the clients at different level of fulfillment maturity. My wife was amazing in corp America. She thought she would be good as a business owner. She is suffering mentally and won’t adopt a CRM. It’s robbing her dopamine since she now has to set her own targets and go at a sensible pace. She is now burned out daily and on the verge of a mental breakdown. She believed that the same skills that took her to a high level in cope America can take her as far. It’s a totally different mindset needed. I’ve been trying to coach her, but it’s hard for her to make the mental shift. It hurts seeing her struggle daily. I see what she needs to do, but I’m a bad coach.

Instant feedback! That produces dopamine that causes us to work more and more. Not getting feedback little by little for isolated like like knowledge work can be maddening. People spend hours working on the computer and go bonkers when their work does not result in a quality payback.

[@dianeoneil5376]

Omg The comment about not seeing the fruits of our labor is what I have been saying for years. It significantly decreases the satisfaction in our work, which I think leads to depression, stress, and anxiety because many of us spend so many hours at work. It’s like being on, a constant treadmill to nowhere. I often think of the production line on the old sitcom. I love Lucy, where Lucy and Ethel were working in the chocolate factory and could not keep up with the conveyor belt. I think that captures how many of us feel at work today !

[@jshyoungblood]

This is one of the main arguments Marx makes in the communist manifesto. Not seeing fruits of labor.

[@sbella6719]

A difference in the production jobs though is that workers had to meet a production quota which gave them motivation. I remember that episode of Lucy lol. People working production then weren't overstimulated and easily distracted as they are now.

[@TarotThrones]

ooh Cal Newport - great guest to get!

[@moniquemitchell7326]

I love the Birthday idea 🎉 Going for a hike... Writing things down, having solitude to sort our life out, Brillant

[@Caffeinated_Acrobat]

Why are there never chapters?

[@vcash1112]

I know right, let's cut to the chase!

[@serenityjewel]

I use the transcript.

[@C02045]

The essence 5:12 😮 of the overload of knowledge work that evolved through technology is “micro self mis management”.

[@Ballistik-Knight]

All my bosses loves to be pseudo productive in front of the computer screen

[@darlenealvarezfasolo5522]

@@Ballistik-Knight they are just more docile as their bonuses are higher but they suffer much the same.

[@darlenealvarezfasolo5522]

Financial industry is one of the worst examples of that. I have up to11 we bex meetings and 200+ emails to answer a day. And nothing gets done. Iis only control of every minmal acvity as everything is considered risk.

[@avivitariel]

This was such a fab talk, I keep a strict schedule so this really resonated with me. 🧡

[@vcash1112]

✨Nothing wrong with working a lot if you enjoy it and you are able to do the things you want when not working. It's better than sitting around and doing nothing and watching the screen all day. I think it's about finding purpose in your job and that most likely requires working for yourself or doing a job that you care about.✨

[@woodfloorsjohnny]

[@alannorman4097]

Maybe the 'knowledge' jobs are truly not productive and not seemingly.

[@chiffre-nummer8475]

Tech-Knowledgy ... thank you for helping me to see this word in front of my inner eye. I do love knowledge ... but I feel bad and hurt most of the time, when I use tech-knowledgies ... it doesn't feels natural to me

[@calibby85]

There is a subset of "knowledge" workers who are mostly customer facing, I am one of them. By nature I'm very much in my email. I don't think this acknowledges that? I'm only 20min in but maybe the do address that. Or maybe I'm not a knowledge worker, so it just doesn't apply....curious if anyone else was wondering the same thing.

[@TarotThrones]

My take on this is that email IS very much part of your job (which is knowledge work) and how you do your job involves an email component (emailing customers, emailing other people trying to solve your customers' issues etc). You maybe don't have a lot of emails ABOUT your emails whereas other people whose work is NOT about emails end up spending a hell of a lot of time stuck in emails about emails about their work. 😃 But I'm not all the way through the podcast either :D

[@orafaelcesar]

The conversation is so interesting, and at the same time I’m amazed how they can talk about all the problems of overwork without not even once mentioning the words “capitalism” or at least “exploitation”. Part of the discussion is funny because they sound like coming up with breakthrough ideas… that have actually been discussed in the 19th century. Still valuable though.

[@Sarara-mv5sx]

'umissable"?

Bullshit Jobs ....David Graeber manda um abraço. kkk

Bring you gayness elsewhere

[@Robert-dv5gv]

What is the point of gaining the whole world and losing one's soul ! Think about that here - not as some religious thing - but as your way to life, HERE. Not some hellish afterlife.

[@Robert-dv5gv]

You ask FAR too many questions - that real and the best of life is lost to you. Asking about spending quality time with children - the metrics of it ? Jesus wept. JUST LOVE ! For God's sake you are a doctor - SUPPOSED to be intelligent. It is interesting how you mention family life, closeness etc in East and the Irish way of life I knew - at least in the past. SPOT ON !!! NOW LIVE before you read and ask questions to death. 🙂
