The core of the book emphasizes optimized productivity through rhythmic scheduling and workload balancing, fostering sustainable progress.
It challenges the “always-on” work culture by integrating work and rest periods, enhancing effectiveness and preventing burnout.
The book progresses by first introducing the concepts of cyclical scheduling and their scientific basis. Then, it explores identifying personal and professional rhythms, applying cyclical scheduling in various contexts, and monitoring progress.
Drawing from historical precedents and research in chronobiology, “Smart Cycles” highlights how strategically planned cycles of work, rest, and reflection can foster resilience and enhance creativity.
