In this mini-episode, I answer audio questions from listeners asking for advice about how best to tune-up their productivity and work habits in a moment of increased distraction and disruption.

You can submit your own audio questions at speakpipe.com/calnewport.

Here are the topics we cover:

• Time blocking versus calendar planning [6:07]
• Deep work for professional athletes [12:24]
• Capturing non-urgent ideas [21:33] 
• Distracted by rumination [35:09]
• Prioritizing interesting projects [43:17]

Thanks to listener Jay Kerstens for the intro music.
