Cal Newport ’04 A digital tech expert on working smarter

Interview by LISA FURLONG

“The issue we’re having with email in the workplace is that it introduced a new way of collaborating that said, ‘We can figure everything out on the fly with back-and-forth, ad hoc messaging.’ This forces us to be constantly checking our inboxes or Slack or Teams, which destroys our ability to do useful work with our brain.” “Once you have messages in your inbox that arrive unpredictably and require responses, you’ve lost the game. You can have wins if you can get together with your team and decide you’re going to figure out better rules.” “We got where we are now by accident. It’s not as if hyper-communication was a management fad. It was an accidental result of email arriving in the workplace.” “More investors and C-suite types are recognizing that the way we’re working is making us unproductive.” “I derive my satisfaction from intense cognitive work: trying to solve a math proof, writing an article. An ideal workday means working on a few very difficult, high-stakes intellectual endeavors with real autonomy.” “It’s when we’re alone with our own thoughts that we can make sense of information we’re taking in. We need downtime from our high-energy processing state or we’ll lose insight into ourselves and become anxious.” “Hyper-communication is out of control, especially in academia. Everyone needs the time and attention of everyone else. Universities should be the places where we explicitly respect the life of the mind.” “I had a big transition my freshman year. I shut down the web development company I’d started with a friend during high school. Then I had to give up lightweight crew after I was diagnosed with a congenital heart issue. I had to think about what I really wanted to do.” “I had read a lot of productivity books while running my business, so I was used to thinking in a way a lot of students don’t. I spent my sophomore fall experiment- ing with how to take notes, study, and write a paper. I went from being a good student to having a 4.0 GPA. I hadn’t become any smarter, so it made me believe systems matter. It also sparked my first two books.” THE PERFECT TIME IS “With the shift to ‘knowledge work’ as the focus of our economy, effectiveness became harder to measure. Busyness became a proxy for productivity.” “Probably 50 percent of the interactions people have with colleagues over email RIGHT NOW. and Slack could be condensed to three hours a week.
