Deep work: How the concept changed my work life

Deep work' is a concept that emphasizes focusing on one particular task with undivided attention, cutting out distractions. It was coined by Cal Newport, who argues that it's essential for professional activities to push cognitive capabilities to their limit and create new value. The concept has four philosophies: monastic, bimodal, rhythmic, and journalistic approaches. To incorporate deep work into your schedule, prioritize tasks, create a routine, combine it with time blocking, take regular breaks, join co-working sessions, build an environment for focus, and train your brain to avoid distractions. The author credits this concept with improving their productivity and work-life balance, leading to greater satisfaction in both personal and professional life.
