How to perform in a state of distraction-free concentration that pushes your cognitive [thinking, reasoning, or remembering] capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and allow you to do deep work to grow your small business. David Begin and Henry Lopez discuss the practice and habit of concentrated time blocks of focused work, which is critical to completing valuable work and yet becoming increasingly rare in our current lives. You may call this Time Blocking, or Time Boxing, although it's not just about time management. You may also refer to it as Focus Time or as Call Newport named it: Deep Work. We will discuss just a few of the key points of the book "Deep Work" by Cal Newport – we encourage you to read this book to learn more about this important topic.
