Carrie Barr ，

Excellent book， extremely well written and his points were well supported and articulated。 I would recommend this to anyone looking to get more out of their day and life。

It's a book provided the importance of deep work to achieve outstanding results。 My key takeaway is the importance of being focus allows the neurological paths for a skill to develop faster than if we get interrupted。Furthermore， the importance of nature sounds for a better concentration。 It's a book provided the importance of deep work to achieve outstanding results。 My key takeaway is the importance of being focus allows the neurological paths for a skill to develop faster than if we get interrupted。Furthermore， the importance of nature sounds for a better concentration。 。。。more

I read this book in the midst of confusion in my life。 I heard from Hindz （a content creater） talking about this book as one of his favorite books in one of his Podcasts。 It was a quick read yet rather a life-changing one。 By now， knowing that it came out in 2016， probably almost everyone has heard of something that is written in this book。 But still， reading this was a great reminder for me， how I could focus better， if I miss something to get into the zone so I would improve my knowledge manag I read this book in the midst of confusion in my life。 I heard from Hindz （a content creater） talking about this book as one of his favorite books in one of his Podcasts。 It was a quick read yet rather a life-changing one。 By now， knowing that it came out in 2016， probably almost everyone has heard of something that is written in this book。 But still， reading this was a great reminder for me， how I could focus better， if I miss something to get into the zone so I would improve my knowledge management。 。。。more

Flow， deep work， conditioning， finding way to support， being consistent。 All good。

Thought provoking book that really gives solid insight in the failings of my current way of working。 It also provides good and realistic steps to try to incorporate deep and thoughtful work into your life。 Now let's see if I actually will manage to do this， but the book made enough a compelling case that I feel obligated to seriously try！ Based on my first impression though， I highly recommend this book！ Thought provoking book that really gives solid insight in the failings of my current way of working。 It also provides good and realistic steps to try to incorporate deep and thoughtful work into your life。 Now let's see if I actually will manage to do this， but the book made enough a compelling case that I feel obligated to seriously try！ Based on my first impression though， I highly recommend this book！ 。。。more

DNF。One word for Cal Newport: edit。

To3m ，

Deep Work contains a central thesis: deep work creates disproportionately more value than shallow work， for modern knowledge workers。 The rest is about strategies for maximizing time and depth of deep work。 I am sold on the central thesis。 I also appreciated many of the strategies， and look forward to systematically applying selected ones in my own work。The writing quality is pretty good too。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Deep work entails single–tasking， no distractions in a state of intense focus for a while。 As a result， you boost your performance and productivity。 Studies have found that multitasking makes people less productive and that focusing on a single task at a time maximizes effectual output。 When there is no distraction， you will get more things done in less time。 It translates to the more focused you are， the better your productivity。 And working for a while in this undistracted state has to do with Deep work entails single–tasking， no distractions in a state of intense focus for a while。 As a result， you boost your performance and productivity。 Studies have found that multitasking makes people less productive and that focusing on a single task at a time maximizes effectual output。 When there is no distraction， you will get more things done in less time。 It translates to the more focused you are， the better your productivity。 And working for a while in this undistracted state has to do with attention residue。To become a leader in this new economy dominated by machines and automation， you need to imbibe these two core abilities:• The ability to quickly learn hard things。 In this new economy， the machines driving the revolution are more complex to understand and master。• The ability to consistently produce at an elite level in terms of speed and quality。 You need to keep up with the changes and innovations in your field， keeping an open mind about the possible drastic transformations。 If you do not have this skill， it will become difficult to learn complex languages and perform at an elite level。So， if you want to perform at an optimum productivity level， work for long periods on a single task， with full concentration and zero distraction — work deeply！Because humans are naturally attracted to distractions， we suck at multitasking。 The following rules will teach you how to incorporate deep work in your life:• Work deeply• Embrace boredom• Quit social media• Drain the shallowsDowntime is needed to recharge your energy。During deep work， you use up a form of energy called directed attention。 It is a limited resource。 To recharge， you need to take a break。Shared from Deep Work by Headway apphttps://headway。onelink。me/9USK？af_we。。。 。。。more

Cal has great insight into the damage our current quick-click; all-consuming connections have rendered to our overwhelmed mental capacity。 The good news is he also provides a detailed and practical remedy。 I highly recommend this book for anyone who knows they could produce works of value， if only they could find the time and focus。

Deep Work is the second book by Cal Newport that I've read。 I'd recommend to read So Good They Can't Ignore You before this， as the two complement each other really well。The overall book is like most self-help books。 There's plenty of vague advice and a lot of it is discussed to death。 But if you pick and choose what you apply， this book has a lot to offer。There's a lot of productive tidbits you can extract and if you're not already a hermit like me， it might even change your life。I didn't have Deep Work is the second book by Cal Newport that I've read。 I'd recommend to read So Good They Can't Ignore You before this， as the two complement each other really well。The overall book is like most self-help books。 There's plenty of vague advice and a lot of it is discussed to death。 But if you pick and choose what you apply， this book has a lot to offer。There's a lot of productive tidbits you can extract and if you're not already a hermit like me， it might even change your life。I didn't have much to gain since I've been implementing the secluded deep work mentality for a while， but I did learn some new tricks that will help me out for sure。Highly recommended for anyone that wants to add more productivity to their work hours。 。。。more

I picked up this book knowing what it would offer。 But as I read through， there were more than a couple of instances where I thought about the way I was approaching my work。 I would definitely give this a second read as I am sure it provides a good value even then。 Good book。

Este libro es una excelente guía de como enfocar nuestro trabajo en relación con nuestra vida。 La idea de que los trabajos en la sociedad moderna están plagados con superficialidad y que no se centran en lo profundo cobra mucho sentido cuando ves que las personas que de verdad ahondan con trabajo que requiere el máximo de tu potencia cognitiva son las que acaban haciendo progresos significativos。Esta idea de la profundidad es un soplo de aire fresco en este mundo actual lleno de distracciones en Este libro es una excelente guía de como enfocar nuestro trabajo en relación con nuestra vida。 La idea de que los trabajos en la sociedad moderna están plagados con superficialidad y que no se centran en lo profundo cobra mucho sentido cuando ves que las personas que de verdad ahondan con trabajo que requiere el máximo de tu potencia cognitiva son las que acaban haciendo progresos significativos。Esta idea de la profundidad es un soplo de aire fresco en este mundo actual lleno de distracciones en el que parece que hay que estar siempre conectado y que no deja franja para el aburrimiento。Por eso， creo que voy a adoptar este enfoque de profundidad en mi vida diaria， aunque quizá me cueste un poco。 Buen libro， 9/10。 。。。more

Excelente libro， realmente le aprendí más de 2 cosas。 Lo único criticable sería el hecho， de que en gran parte del libro， trata de convencerte del "trabajo profundo"， en vez de contarte el "cómo trabajar profundamente"。 No hace falta que me convezcas， ya estoy aquí， ya compre el libro， dime más del cómo que del porqué。 Excelente libro， realmente le aprendí más de 2 cosas。 Lo único criticable sería el hecho， de que en gran parte del libro， trata de convencerte del "trabajo profundo"， en vez de contarte el "cómo trabajar profundamente"。 No hace falta que me convezcas， ya estoy aquí， ya compre el libro， dime más del cómo que del porqué。 。。。more

The main idea is that one should take one's work as a craftsman。 Deep work is presented as a method to allow execution at an elite level， while simultaneously assigning a metaphysical valuation to one’s job。 Supported by references like Csikszentmihalyi’s ESM experience， the thesis is that humans' subjective experience improves with the complexity of their daily tasks and attention allocated to fulfilling them。 The definition of deep work， knowledge-oriented work that is hard to replicate， stand The main idea is that one should take one's work as a craftsman。 Deep work is presented as a method to allow execution at an elite level， while simultaneously assigning a metaphysical valuation to one’s job。 Supported by references like Csikszentmihalyi’s ESM experience， the thesis is that humans' subjective experience improves with the complexity of their daily tasks and attention allocated to fulfilling them。 The definition of deep work， knowledge-oriented work that is hard to replicate， stands in opposition to shallow work。 To achieve a state of deep concentration， some pragmatical prescriptions are set forth: scheduling the work in batches， thus allowing for better concentration in each batch; having a distraction-free work environment; being wary of noisy information overflow of the digital age; not compromising one’s craft just by results but on the fundamental implication of such outcomes （specially tailored for knowledge workers）。4 main strategies are proposed: monastic， bimodal， rhythmic， and journalistic:- Monastic: isolate oneself for long periods of time fully embracing deep work in a hermit fashion- Bimodal: schedule deep work on batches and shallow work in-between。 e。g。 deep work from 9-12， schedule meetings after lunch。- Rhythmic: keep track of minimum deep work per day。 This compounds and likely will increase focus- Journalistic， the hardest one: deep focus on demand through high-intensity bursts。 Additional guidelines:Rooseveltian dashes: set unreasonably tight deadlines and see how you fair when trying to fulfill them。Productive meditation: take a period of physical occupation and focus intellectually on a problem。 E。g。 mindful walk while focused on a concrete narrow problem， noticing when your mind drifts， and returning your attention to the topic。Avoid Looping， i。e。 rehashing preliminaries you already know instead of focusing on the novel concrete hard task at hand。 Identify variables and the question to make use of said variables; store them on your working memory （efficient use of system 2， Kahneman） and work from there。 Laziness and unconscious decision-making theory （associative memory）: refresh your energy on off-work habits， relaxation， and productive meditation （system 1， Kahneman）。Train your memory like a mental athlete: memorize a shuffled deck of cards， build memory palaces。 Maximizes attentional control。The law of the vital few: be wary of power-laws :）Consider quitting social media。 Minimize shallow content。 Avoid checking e-mail and， when replying， be systematic and assertive。 。。。more

Melissa Viernes ，

This book was pretty boring and repetitive。 It could have been much， much shorter， considering it’s from an author who gives importance on time。 The advice doesn’t exactly work for everyone。 Key takeaways though is to value your time， have a routine， and set up an environment that allows you to do deep work - however that may work for you。

My pal Cal gives no nonsense insights into improving your life， one productivity hack after another。The question is， how deep are you willing to go？

Even tho I’m not a “knowledge worker” I still got a lot of useful information in this book。 How easily we are distracted by shallow work and the social media。 I’m going to try and use some of the steps outlined in the book to become more productive。

Siddhi ，

this book perfectly illustrates the power of concentration and some practical ways to implement it。 However some of the techniques suggested are highly impractical unless you are a big shot who can afford continues weeks of thinking。 Nevertheless if you want to get more work out of the same number of hours that you have at hand， the tips suggested here might prove to be extremely helpful。
