Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Oliver Burkeman said
ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.
The truly valuable skill here isn't the capacity to push yourself harder, but to stop and recuperate despite the discomfort of knowing that work remains unfinished, emails unanswered, other people's demands unfulfilled.
