I can't agree on the remote/hybrid thing. I started a new job last year, 100% remote and part time. Was the best decision I made. So much time and money saved and I don't miss anything. It's the opposite: I don't have to dress up perfectly, I don't have to prepare foos, I don't have to waste money and time for transportation, I don't have fucking 200 decibel of all other people in the office around me. It's much more relaxed and I finally have a life again, instead of 8 hours working + 1-2 hours preparing + 2 hours driving.

After a 20+ year career, I recently quick my full time job, and decided to pursue remote / flexible work instead. The 9-5 Corporate life started to take a big toll on my mental and physical well-being, and I had to take some serious action. Navigating new (unfamiliar) territory at the moment - but no regrets so far!

I STOPPED caring about money. I use to day to day. Not week to week. I STOPPED caring about what family around me "wants" from me. What they "expect" out of me. I STOPPED caring in general about how the world views me. I became a DJ last year. It is the best job ever. Not only have I learned about sound engineering, but I have learned so much about music and how it impacts peoples lives. I can vibe with that, BIG TIME. I've been a musician since I was groovin' as a little kid. I didn't know it then, but I align with it more than ever now. Many failures in music, bandmates, but it all came with gains as well. I feel I'm actually an "adult" at the age of 37. One reason. I make decisions for MYSELF now. Mind-blowing stuff.

I finally understand why I HATE getting interrupted in the middle of one task at work, to go run the register, or do something else my manager suddenly wants. It's not entirely because I'm autistic and hate abrupt change, it's because I can never stay in the "zone," and my brain wasn't meant to work that way! Which is even more proof I'd be great at a different position there, if it becomes available.

Wow. It's sad how we have to say we're "autistic" if we can't easily switch between tasks. Even tho as humans we just naturally are not great at switching tasks. The ultra hassle culture of being on a meeting, answering emails, and answering slack messages may seem like multi tasking and productivity but it's not. It's a lack of focus.

@mrjgilbert

@@JeanKlaud93100% agree! The very nature of my work is to never let you focus on a task. Email, Teams Chat, Teams Call, phone call, person stops by to chat, other person stops by to chat. When I have projects I often end up doing them in the evenings because I can go more than 20min without focus being derailed. It’s an awful way to ‘work’ and spend the best hours of every day.

That Shopify ad was a pretty brutal context switch.

Actually, for me, the most stressful thing about work (at least in corporate world) is that raises, promotions, etc have very little to do with output and merit, and more to do with politics and how many social causes you give emoji claps to on meets and slack.

I really wonder how any of them would actually do in a real job. No offence to their achievements, but listening to "productivity Experts" often reminds me of academics. Yes, it is all good and well in theory, but the trick is the practical implementation. I rarely find anything really new in these podcasts, but the real challenge is to do it.

@barking_mad6649

Ай бұрын

They don't work in the 'real world' , that's the problem. I like Cal but he's got the ability to say no to stuff, he can even decide when he teaches his lectures in the academic year. Most academics/office/knowledge workers can't do that, they're at the beck and call of multiple people 5 days a week. That's where the distractions are.

The variability of natural work pace is so true. I often feel guilty for not working at full intensity all time, but I found I just can´t do it. I sometimes have days with high motivation, where I work 10 hours and more with good focus and get a lot done. But almost always the next day or a few days later I feel absolutely "done" mentally and it´s barely even worth going to the office. And in a way I always felt like this was "right". But I am still expected to show up at work and keep working. And worse: If you have too much to do, how can you justify this to yourself and to your boss? I mean, it´s a tough time, so why don´t you work like that for 50 hours a week? This is also where a lot of the overly optimistic deadlines are coming from. How long do you need for that report? Well, maybe 3 hours of really focused work. And for this task? Well maybe 2 hours, and so on. Then you summarize in your head all the times and calculate how much time you need. But the reality is: You have a limited capacity for focused work. And this capacity varies. And on top of it you often won´t get that time anyway, because meetings and urgent tasks interrupting you all day. And of course those tasks will sap you energy and further reduce any focused work you could have done. And suddenly the week went by and you wonder what you actually did. And the answer is: I survived. But I barely moved any of the projects forward.

That slow productivity thing sounds good in theory, but I don´t see it happening in most businesses. If I tell my management a realistic timeline for a project, they will just half that and put massive pressure on it to "make it happen". That´s not even to mention the constantly moving timelines and changing priorities ("be flexible"). On top of that I usually only can work properly before or after normal working time. In between you are bombarded with urgent requests out of nowhere. In short: This whole thing only works when the company structure and management supports it. In many cases that also means more personnel. Because if I´m supposed to focus on project work, you can´t also make me responsible for supporting a running production line. That´s a two peoples job if you want to do it properly. And that´s where it often fails.

My two favorite author in one room.. I'm so delighted !!! Cal has been so influencal for me, starting with how to be a straight a student, that litteraly changed everything for me to how to be so good or digital minimalism....

As a self-employed graphic designer I can totally relate. With „labor“ work you see how the basement has been cleaned or the wood been stacked, with creative work you sometimes just think and do research for hours but have „nothing“ to show for it. Also having no metrics for what is considered „a lot“ and „good“ work means you could ALWAYS do more abnd always be better, no matter how much you actually do or how well you do it. That can really grate you down… because you can get stuck in that „it‘s never enough“ loop….

Listening to this post burnout as a solo entrepreneur workaholic child of another entrepreneur workaholic and feeling even more validated. If only I heard this two years ago. But it’s been part of my journey to go through the trenches and learn the hard way about burnout and stopping persecuting myself for not doing enough. In the evenings I try and write down all the things I got done and it’s loads and loads of those 5 minutes that add up. Shifting gears constantly, prioritizing and reprioritizing. I am practicing to do the latter more and be flexible. I look forward to the day when I can hire more help.

Awesome - was exactly the right day to see this. Thank you gentlemen!

I wanted to comment on the whole “quiet quitting “ and giving the least amount of effort to work thing. I think a big part of it is the remuneration vs cost of living vs effort. It’s not proportional any more. Companies fire people in massive layoffs any day of the week nowadays, without any real reason. Corporate loyalty is disappearing. I think that’s the root of that. People’s passion and efforts are not being rewarded the way they used to, so I guess some people go “fuck it!”, you know? I heard someone say “it’s now considered revolutionary to actually do what is expected of you”, meaning, leaving work at work and not sacrificing personal time and sanity for someone else’s company. Just my thoughts on the subject.

Super great podcast. A lot of gold in this one.

Hi Mark (and Team), the interview is amazing in itself. As we can see by view counts on other channels with a lot less famous presenters, KZread videos with long conversations don't need to be edited with 500 jump cuts to hide 500 half-seconds of silence, neither do they need tricks such as the constant cropping, zooming, or even copyright free videos to illustrate the point the guest is making. A conversation as interesting as this is even hard to follow for someone that is used to follow such things, even for 3/4 hour long interviews, because of all the unnecessary pollution. A lot of us out here are not children. Having said this, I also encourage you to keep up the good work.

I am a software engineer and I am running into a strange problem with productivity metrics. When I write good code, my coworkers copy and paste it. They get “credit” for that work in the metrics, but I get nothing. On paper, I look like I produce less code than my coworkers because i solve problems in fewer lines of code and enable their productivity by writing code that is easy to reuse. But management doesn’t understand what I do so they think my coworkers are super productive, but they just copy and paste my code and change a few little details.

Yes, create a doc where you add in your code and share it with your boss. Have a notification sent to you each time they access the folder and track activity on it. Then, show the activity of how many people access your provided code to your boss. That will showcase who the creator is. The other solution is tell your coworkers your still working on it and don't have anything to share...lol. But, this one is being petty so don't take that advice. 😂

Great talk Cal. Loved you in Ozark btw.

I’d love to hear any thoughts on their discussion regarding taking breaks from work and “laying on your back for 5 days”. I don’t disagree per say but it doesn’t seem feasible for the large majority and I was really hoping they’d discuss this more. Like for creatives that aren’t employees I get it. But for any creative employee or even for business people that require work to happen more day to day, how is this even possible. Things need to happen for money to be made. I hate the system but that’s how it is 😢

Great topic!

His explanation of agile development and 'scrum' was amusing. The concepts of Scrum and Agile DevOps seem to serve more as jargon for managers than as practical methodologies for development teams. Moreover, agile development promotes the idea that every developer should be versatile in all areas of the project. It's not merely encouraged; it's a fundamental assumption. Which seems detached from the point he was trying to make.

I used to work as a software developer for a company that decided to move to agile. However we were all specialists in a particular area (I was UI) on a project that had UI, server level and kernel level code. The session where we predicted timescales ( although had to use generic cards and not actually real time) caused so many arguments. I pointed out that if I picked up a task for a kernel level change, in C then it would take me 10x as long to do as a managed C# UI developer having to learn the delicacies of kernel level code and refresh my C code, which I hadn't used in anger for 10+ years at that point. Likewise they all really underestimated how long UI work took because to the server programmers UI work was considered easy. It may not have multiple threads and memory management, but it still took time to implement and restructure existing code and make it work in a natural way for users. So yeah, totally agree with your point. Agile doesn't take into account specialisms.

Super interesting convo

From my experience.. The basic reason why satisfaction is high- while exhaustion is also high in surveys, is because in those organisations the upper management when the “grades” of satisfaction are low , they impose the responsibility and the action taking- once more to the employees rather than them trying to find the solution . That forces the employees to rate better, so as not to also have along with their daily work, extra things to do . Not to mention that is a trick used by managers , to puss up good evaluation. A kind of punishment. You rated bad - now I load you with an action plan to change that .

12:29 interesting on the data analyst bit since I am one. We do some soft KPI for meeting yearly goals/projects. They also likely look at how much hours I am logged on as well. The other thing that's hard to measure are the adhoc analysis requests and the insane amount of meetings. Those are some broad strokes of how they measure productivity. My personal goal/productivity measure this year is to automate some of my processes and also learn by experimenting different type of analysis at work. The only problem is I have to do that on my own time so takes some time off my free time, but learning at work is the most effective way to get better at your job. It's fun to have your own side projects going on without needing manger input as well.

27:20 Yes you want the processor to be pipelined to continuously be running. However, context switching hurts processing speeds too. You gotta move all this memory around, reload the registers, and cache, save what the other process was doing. It is more efficient for the processor to work one task continuously as long as it doesn't need to wait something out of pipeline to happen IO devices.

Very unrelatable podcast to me as a person being remote for 8 years and wanting to stay this way my whole life! Much more satisfided and less burntout unless they throw at me 1000 things to do all at once. That's the real reason of burnout, it has nothing to do with remote!

That Shopify segment was hilarious 😂

With respect, Cal does not have the sort of job he is talking about so he doesn’t know what is happening in offices these days. Hybrid is going up because of RTO mandates, not because most workers prefer it. And the mandates are happening because bosses want to justify keeping office space, or they mistakenly believe more collaboration automatically happens when everyone is in the same room, or they just don’t trust workers to actually work at home even though, yeah, workers work more at home. Slack is way more effective at preventing meetings than being “grabbed in the hallway.” Fully remote companies are the best because everyone is on an equal footing and they all use digital communication more effectively, and when they all do get together it is for the express purpose of collaboration and they make sure that happens. What happens in offices is being distracted and bothered by coworkers all the time, whenever anyone happens to want to “just drop by” for a few minutes and drag your head out of what you were trying to do. Like that worker whose boss was always pinging him, but not as easy to turn off or ignore as email notifications.

In my company in theory we have all things Cal proposed. I think it is new standard in big corporations. In practise I don’t have time for soft trainings how to schedule my time in remote work. We introduced pull approach so every day we have to pull something to look busy. There is no option to say no. My time approximation are constantly deceased so there is no time for great products. We also have externals that pull as little as possible so we had to push to their limits. I am as overworked and burning same as before those changes. Just different way. I hate flexible work hours because that means for employe I can work any time. Few hours in the morning, rest in evening and be reachable in between. I start going back to office 9-5 just to stop working at 5. Remote work as long you are 1 hour away from office.

18:48 "I am going to do less stuff..." What you need to say to your boss is that you are going to focus on this, for this reason.

Re Mark's rant about the 90 mins meeting in a corporate environment: although I agree with it, it is impossible to get in the mood of the meeting and get the best of the 5 minutes that are important without the 80 minutes of rants or whatever goes on before. These people are not machines, they're coming straight from wrestling with outlook and with their managers, they cannot switch instantly to whatever Mark wants them to do.

What can be the case, that pepople don't understand the burnout and work satisfaction the same way. It would be interesting to check definitions.

Lin-Manual Miranda is my favourite! One day when i grow up!

I love the idea of transparency of tasks with your boss but there are some poor leaders out there who don’t know how to prioritize tasks themselves, let alone helping someone else prioritize. My last line of managers literally would tell me everything was a priority. Watching me drown in work while they continued to pour tasks over my head. Slowly sinking into my burnout!
