How To Design Your Life (2-Part System For Achieving Your Goals) | Cal Newport

Показать описание

Cal Newport talks about the deep life hardware in Episode 297 of the Deep Questions podcast.

Why do you struggle with your grand attempts to escape distraction and aimlessness to make your life deeper? In this episode, Cal draws on an unexpected metaphor – Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, and the Analytical Engine – to help identify the subtle obstacle on your path to increase depth. With this new understanding in hand, he then details a specific gameplan to get around it. Later, he takes questions from the audience and reacts to the new AI Pin, a tool intended to render smartphones obsolete.

Cal is the GOAT of podcasting, this is the best thing on the internet. I know he thinks Huberman is cool but honestly Huberman has nothing on Cal. Cal's content is better, his presentation is better and he seems a lot more genuine. Don't ever stop, Cal, your ideas, strategies, analogies, are so valuable. I also love his nerdy humor.

Hey Cal, come on, don't make fun of your listeners, who submit questions!

Question:

I work in public libraries as an assistant where I’m good at what I do but I’ve basically plateaued- there’s no projects that I can take on to gain new skills or experiences and I would say my level of skill is beginner/intermediate (as I only get practice in doing general/basic IT assistance, graphic design and event management. I am one of the go-tos if people get stuck.)

I’ve tried asking for projects but they generally get put in the back burner due to under staffing requiring me to be on the front desk (but in a way that I can’t predict) while I love working with everyone, our head doesn’t like things done without her say so doing tiny projects to improve things by like 5% is not a go. (Last person got yelled at..)

So my question : is it time for me to bite the bullet and do more things outside of my workplace so I can gain skills for more control over my life?
I love being in service of the community but the pay utterly sucks no matter your level and I’m getting the real sense I could get SUPER stuck even if I went for a diploma in library info science….
