Description

We’re used to feeling like we must accomplish more, faster, now. But what happens when we can’t keep up? Enter slow productivity: a new mindset that values fewer tasks, a natural pace, and work that matters. According to Cal Newport and others, slow productivity is about redefining success, not by how busy we are, but by how meaningful our efforts feel.

In this session we’ll explore why striving for constant acceleration drains us, how slowing down can restore value and life, and how we can apply this to your life, whether in work, study, or everyday tasks.

Session Activities

Question 1: Think of a time when you were extremely busy, did you feel productive or just exhausted?

Question 2: What’s one thing you stopped doing because you felt you didn’t have time, but you actually missed it?

Question 3: If you could reduce your “to-do” list by one major task, what would it be and why?

Question 1: How would you define “slow productivity” in your own words?

Question 2: Why do you think our culture glorifies busyness (doing lots) over depth (doing well)?

Question 3: Can “doing fewer things” help you be better at those things? Why or why not?

Question 4: What does “working at a natural pace” look like in your life? Where do you feel you’re forced into a sprint?

Question 5: How often do you find yourself doing lots of tasks that seem productive, but later you realise they didn’t matter much? (Pseudo-productivity)
