Deep Questions with Cal Newport

Ep. 157: JENNY BLAKE: Help Me Do Less!

In this episode, author Jenny Blake joins me for a conversation about her new book, FREE TIME: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business  (https://itsfreetime.com/book), which helps entrepreneurs engineer the stress out of their work. I ask her to use myself as a case study and apply her principles to helping me reduce stress in my working life. Though FREE TIME doesn’t come out until March, if you pre-order a copy now (at https://itsfreetime.com/book) you’ll get immediate access to a pair of free copies of the audiobook: one for you and one for a friend. Thanks to Jesse Miller for production, Jay Kerstens for the intro music, and Mark Miles for mastering.
