Deep Work
by Cal Newport
Three key ideas
- Deep work is sustained focus on a demanding task that builds skill or creates value.
- Pick a time, place, length and one result before you start.
- A realistic short block beats a long ideal one that collapses.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Busy is not the same as deep
- 2.Design a focus ritual you can repeat
- 3.Keep the tools that earn their place
- 4.Stay with the hard part
- 5.Plan the stop, not just the focus
