Book Description:
Deep work is the power to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time-a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport presents four rules for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill:
1. Work Deeply
2. Embrace Boredom
3. Quit Social Media
4. Drain the Shallows
A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work uses examples from Carl Jung to social media pioneers to demonstrate how great thinkers have focused their minds in a nonstop world.
Review:
This book inspired me to really consider how I work. In this digital world, distractions are everywhere. As a mom, distractions are everywhere. This book dives into how much better any project could be if you can spend focused time on one task, instead of trying to jump from task to task. I agree. I can get a lot done if I spend my time focused on one thing, and his tips for ways to guard specific times for this Deep Work were helpful as well.
