A short recap of the week gone by
Key lessons and insights
This was a rejuvenating week with good old friends visiting me in London. I value relationships and prioritize them. Ultimately the quality of our lives comes down to the average of the people we spend our time with.
Key Takeaways
I wrote an essay on slow productivity for The New Indian Express.
“Michelangelo devoted over three years, from 1501 to 1504, to meticulously crafting the statue of David. He faced significant challenges due to the large, flawed piece of Carrara marble he used, which had been previously abandoned by other artists. His approach was not centred around producing a high volume of work. Instead, Michelangelo emphasised an intense focus on quality and perfection in each of his projects.
In our busy work lives, we may not always be able to dedicate three years to a single project, but we can strive to improve the quality of our output with every iteration. Getting the job done isn’t enough. Doing it well and improving over time is the key.”I did a podcast in Hindi talking about the passion economy and the unbundling of work from employment.
Mom (Dr. Anamika) delivered a talk at SOAS and I am glad loads of Network Capital members turned up.
