Today’s book: Deep Work by Cal Newport—a powerful manifesto for reclaiming your focus and doing truly meaningful, high-impact work in a distracted world.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Deep work = flow + productivity. It’s the ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks.
- Shallow work kills momentum. Email, meetings, and busywork feel productive—but rarely move the needle.
- Train your attention. Focus is a muscle. The more you practice it, the stronger—and more valuable—it becomes.
- Rituals protect your time. Structure your day with blocks of deep work, clear goals, and firm boundaries.
- Quit social media (or use it with purpose). Don’t let digital noise steal your mental clarity. Be ruthless about what earns your attention.
