How To Work Less This Summer (And Still Get MORE Done)

from The Liz Moody Podcast · host Liz Moody

I’m re-releasing this popular episode because so many of you have been sharing how hard it is to focus on your work right now. The answer? Work smarter, not harder. My guest is a best-selling author and professor at Georgetown University, Cal Newport, and he shares exactly how to work less and get way more done (while also feeling happier and calmer). So many of us are stuck in a cycle of answering emails all day, sitting on Zoom meetings, but never really moving the ball forward in our work or in our lives, and this episode is going to change that. I've used so many of the tactics from this interview to restructure my workdays and how I run my business. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • 3 principles to follow to do less and accomplish more • Science-backed strategies to improve focus • The biggest time drains on your day (and how to fix them) • What to do to build toward the career of your dreams • And so much more For more from Cal Newport: • Website: www.calnewport.com  • Books: https://calnewport.com/writing/ Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
