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.

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.

Why are there never chapters?

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

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 !

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.

ooh Cal Newport - great guest to get!

Another Grest Video..Thank You Gentlemen..👍🏼🙏🏼

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

You've had a great run of guests recently, Dr. Chatterjee!

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

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.

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

yeah

'umissable"?

✨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.✨

May as well be talking about fog.

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