Listen now to get the main key ideas from Cal Newport's A World Without Email.
What would happen if we had no email at work, or less of it? Computer science professor Cal Newport examines the role of email and other digital communication tools in the modern workplace in A World Without Email (2021). He highlights the negative impact of constant communication that fragments the workday and reduces our ability to focus on a single task. Newport recommends an overhaul of workflows to improve efficiency. Processes need to be more clear and focused, tasks more specialized, and communication more streamlined to avoid distracting interruptions.
