024: Cal Newport's "Slow Productivity" and Solo Lawyers
Update: 2025-09-26
Description
In this episode I unpack Cal Newport’s Slow Productivity through the lens of a solo law practice. I talk about choosing fewer and better cases, planning work in natural seasons, protecting deep work blocks, and aiming for craftsmanship that reduces chaos later. The goal is not to do less for its own sake. It is to produce work that matters without burning out.
