What do social media companies fear

This seems to put too much of an onus on individuals and very few of the responsibility on these social media companies. The products are addictive by design. We can’t keep expecting people to not be enticed by the product.

The Energy Matrix

Not all hours are equal.

High energy → Deep work, creative tasks
Medium energy → Meetings, collaboration
Low energy → Admin, emails, routine

Match the task to the energy. Stop forcing it.

[칼 뉴포트가 분석한 AI 에이전트 2025년 약속이 빗나간 이유

Cal Newport는 OpenAI의 샘 알트먼을 포함한 주요 인사들이 2025년에 제시한 AI 에이전트의 혁신적인 생산성 향상 예측이 실현되지 못한 이유를 분석했다. 주요 이유는 AI 에이전트의 실제 제품들이 예상보다 단순한 작업에서도 실패하였고, 특히 프로그래밍 외의 능력으로의 전이가 제한적이었으며, LLM 기반 기술의 제약 때문이었다. 안드레이 카파시는 AI 에이전트의 급격한 발전이 아닌 점진적인 진화를 인정하며, 2026년에는 AI의 실제 능력에 대한 냉정한 평가가 필요함을 강조했다.

About notebooks

The problem facing knowledge work in our current moment is not that we’re lacking sufficiently powerful technologies. It’s instead that we’re already distracted by so many digital tools that there’s no time left to really open the throttle on our brains.

Cal Newport, from https://calnewport.com/forget-chatbots-you-need-a-notebook/

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a few months. I recently went back to my lab notebook habit from 30+ years ago. It’s like discovering a bicycle for your mind: It multiplies the power of what my mind is good at. But not too much. (like a car where you’re completely cut off from the world.) Using a notebook I can hold thoughts outside my mind, return to them, and see them.

There’s also the magic that happens when you hold onto a thought long enough to write it down. That’s much longer than we usually hold on to any thought.
