Guest Post: Janice CK, Notion Consultant & Ambassador, writes about how she applies Cal Newport's slow productivity principles to her business and life
Hello, lots of good ideas in this article, I support the idea of slowing down and do less. I just have (as a word nerd) a question : is it possible to replace "obsessed" regarding quality by some other word that can go in the same direction without the perfectionism subtext?
Thanks Nathalie. I see people use excellence instead of perfection. So it has an element of the higher quality about it but it’s less judgment heavy - not sure that’s quite it but I love your question.
Great tips, thank you. Cal Newport's work really speaks to me. And using Notion to implement them is a good idea. I'm looking forward to your help with that Janice!
I've read Cal Newport's book, and these observations are spot on. I've found that when I do one thing at a time and stop worrying about everything else, life is much simpler.

Maybe something as focus on quality? Or else?

Makes me consider the labelling of the behaviour.
and thanks for your articles, it's definitely food for thought
Appreciate that Nathalie!

Janice has a wealth of easy access and use tools Jeanette. That philosophy really speaks to me too.

Make a list.
Prioritize it.
Work through the tasks one at a time.
Thanks Wendy. I really like his approach to life. Similar to Oliver Burkeman - I'm cultivating more of that for myself and my coaching approach.
