I'm Cal Newport and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating a deep life in a distracted world.

As was the case last week I am still not in my deep work HQ, but in instead

Broadcasting from an undisclosed location up in New England where I've come to

Recharge after my slow productivity book tour and because I'm crazy this way

Begin some work on my next book project. Now there's no Jesse today Jesse is on

vacation so it's just going to be me and you dear listener but I do want to say

that Jesse Skeleton made his first appearance in the

international media. I was profiled recently for the Spanish newspaper El Paiz and in the profile there's a bunch of photos and one of the photos was snapped of Jesse Skeleton at the Deep Work HQ. We'll put a link to that English translation of that

interview at that profile in the show notes. If you want to see Jesse

Skeleton in all of his glory, it's all of course gone to his head. I can't talk to Jesse's skeleton

directly anymore. He insists that I go through his publicity agent as well as

his screen agent.

It is very difficult to talk to you now.

I think it's gone to his head.

But I guess good for him for getting the exposure he so well deserves.

All right, speaking of summer, last week I also mentioned that during the summer,

traffic on this

podcast is well it's basically every podcast goes down as people are out of

their normal routines my new plan is to counter the summer drop of

traffic by making the summer the time where I actually

get around to doing what I probably should do more often which is asking for your help

and spreading the word. So if you enjoy what we've been up to here please consider
