Site of Cal Newport, computer science professor and author of Deep Work, with his long-running blog on focus, productivity, and technology's role in work and life.
Nonprofit founded on Dr. Richard J. Davidson's wellbeing research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The free Healthy Minds Program app teaches awareness, connection, insight and purpose through short guided practices, alongside a free Emotional Style Quiz. The organisation also sells courses, workplace programs and paid research services, and takes donations.
Why I recommend it: The app is free with no paid tier inside it, which is rare here — worth having if burnout is part of your job search. Two honest flags: the courses, workplace programs and retreat studies on the same site are paid, and much of the evidence cited is the founder's own research group examining its own program, so read outcome claims as promising rather than settled.
A weekly newsletter on the science of focus, energy and habits, written while balancing a full-time job and a growing creator business.
Why I recommend it: Practical habit writing from someone doing it alongside a day job.
One daily markdown page for setting a clear intention and reflection.
From the site: One daily markdown page: intent.md
Why I recommend it: A tiny daily-practice prompt; useful if you need a low-friction way to set one clear work intention each morning.
