I love your line, “Nothing truly inspiring comes from burnout.”

Hustle culture has come to an end. Nothing can hustle faster than AI. It is time to learn how to do good, deep, meaningful work with more ease and flow. Compassion is a wise and well-worn path to get there.

I'm chuckling because I spend hours deciding what sentences should remain and what sentences should be cut. The sentence you loved was one I nearly deleted! Guess it's a good thing I kept it in.

I love your insight about hustle culture and AI. I hadn't put the two of those things together.

Have you read Cal Newport's latest book, Slow Productivity? If not, it's a good one to add to your TBR list.

I know that I need to learn and re-learn and learn again! So glad you'll be there. 💝

I am a big fan of Newport's "Slow Productivity." It's a call for depth, quality, and giving one's self the time to master your material - or at least get a good start.

It's funny that you nearly deleted “Nothing truly inspiring comes from burnout.”

I think most people, myself included, thought that taking the time to do great work meant hustling like there was no tomorrow, foregoing rest, reflection, and time with family underestimating how much value those other parts of our lived contribute to our work.
