- pljung 2y agoIt made sense to me as part of the broader theme of separating work activities from private ones. And that separation being the smart action.
- dosinga 2y agoOh I agree, it is the smart thing to do. But to me it is not working smarter - if you check facebook at work you don't work more hours, you just spend more time at work
- giantg2 2y agoPerhaps it's just mistitled. "How to Work" might be more apt instead of "Working Smarter, Not Harder". After all, the second half of that title is also incorrect- you are in fact working harder since you are no longer doing leisure activities during work time.
- WesleyLivesay 2y agoIt does feel a bit odd. A better title might be "Work Faster, Not Longer". Probably also ties into the fact that this person's job seems very deliverable based. Maybe content creation? That is just a completely different set of requirements than most people's "keep butt in seat for 40 hours" jobs.
- mhluongo 2y agoThe "smart" part is no longer interrupting your workflow with an addicting dopamine trap. Fewer interruptions → more deep work → more progress with less total time spent. Similar idea to work "theming". It lowers context switches and let's you accomplish more.
