Cal Newport:
examples of rain dance activities:
“Sitting at my desk when I’m not working”
“Being on calls with no actual objective”
“Keeping Slack notifications at zero, sitting on email trying to get the Unread number down”
“Saying yes to a random dinner when someone is coming through town”
Everyone’s busy, but is no one is asking if all these gyrations are actually opening the clouds.
The solution to the rain dance phenomenon is not to abandon organizational systems or routines altogether, nor is to crudely commit to working less. It’s instead, as Williamson suggests, to turn your attention from inputs to outputs. Identify the most valuable thing you do in your job, and then figure out what actually helps you do it better. This is what you should focus on.
