Newport’s “achievements”, as he proudly presents as books, aren’t books but a printed product.
But still, this blog post bears a truth for me. I find it harder to sit down in a calm env. and concentrate on writing code for a prolonged period of time. Partially covid-19, remote work (and my gf) is to blame.
Regarding Murakami, I couldn’t find it interesting enough to finish a book. There are 2 types of fiction writers from my point of view:
1. Clever ones who know what they are writing *in* the process.
2. Writers who figure out what they wrote *after* the process.
And Murakami is the first kind.
