In today's episode, I caught up with a talented, award-winning author and professor of computer science at Georgetown University, Cal Newport. 

Cal’s books are a manifesto for digital minimalism and focus. In this episode he shares his strategies for maintaining efficiency particularly in large organizations where meetings can often be a substitute for poor time management.

We also explore how long-term goals can easily be broken down into actionable daily steps and the importance of grabbing control of our digital habits.

In this episode, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

• What the difference is between office hours and meetings and why you should avoid the later

• Why focus is the most in demand resource right in world with short attention span

• How to balance the content creation algorithms without being on social media at all.

All these plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
