Question of the Week: What are your most toxic distractions? How do you get rid of them? Let me know on instagram.com/kashvireads or twitter.com/kashvireads . QOTD: What are your thoughts on Deep Work? How often do you practice it?

⭐ 'Deep Work’ is a term coined by Cal Newport, the writer of this book, and it refers to professional activities performed in a state of distraction free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. Newport’s book is filled with constructive advice for readers to instill the “superpower” of Deep Work in their day-to-day lives in addition to detailed explanations as to why Deep Work is rare, valuable and meaningful.

💡 What I liked the most is that Newport has considered a wide spectrum of people and their likely routines while writing this book. He offers solutions for employees with strict bosses as well as students striving to perform better and even writers who want to finish the first draft of their novel. Also, I really like how he makes it clear that the ability to go deep is not for everyone and thus, not everyone would find value in this book because although Deep Work is meaningful, it is extremely demanding of your commitment, which many people would not be willing to make. Thus, it is also rare.

⚡ Even though there are multiple parts of this book that require skimming because of its repetitive nature, “Deep Work” by Cal Newport is a comprehensive and practical guide for people who are willing to go the extra mile to achieve more. There are several extracts from this book that you will find unnecessary or arguable, but don’t let that get in the way of understanding the more relevant aspects of Deep Work
