What is slow productivity and does it really work?

According to Forbes, slow productivity helps people do fewer things- but better.

Slow productivity can protect jobs from AI, improve quality and even please bosses.

It means saying no to busy work, and taking more time to do each task properly.

Slow productivity can help, but only if it’s done with honesty and respect for your team.

Give yourself permission to slow down. Even a short pause helps your brain reset and makes you feel happier and more focused in the long run.
