This synopsis of the Dr. Rangan Chatterjee interview with neuroscientist Mithu Storoni discusses the implications of a new era of knowledge work and the need to rethink productivity as a measure of quality rather than quantity. Storoni argues that we should design our work lives to match natural rhythms, focusing on intense mental work in short bursts and then shifting to lighter tasks. She suggests that the three "gears" of the brain, which represent different levels of mental activity, are a useful framework for understanding this concept. The interview also touches on how to use tools like napping, walking, and breathwork to upregulate and downregulate our brains, helping us optimize mental performance.
