Slow Productivity

Slow Productivity argues that valuable work should happen at a pace people can keep. Newport asks readers to do fewer things, allow important work enough time, and care more about quality than looking busy. I like the book because exhaustion is a poor business model. A company cannot become less founder-dependent if every process requires a sprint and a rescue. Steady work also makes it easier to train people and improve systems. Durable should describe the team as well as the company.
