Unlocking Peak Performance: The Secrets of Deep Work | Lead From Here #86
Deep Work is exactly what is sounds like...it means doing cognitively demanding tasks that require intense focus. Deep work is becoming increasing rare, yet invaluable. Shallow work is the other side of that coin, emails, texts, instant messenger, etc are all things that CAN take up the majority of your day and your focus, if you let them.
The key is creating structured chunks of time to work on critical action items that require intense focus and more than your average amount of cognitive ability. The book outlines plenty of extreme cases where people locked themselves in a cabin or jungle for days on end. Luckily, they also have some very pragmatic examples like blocking time, shutting off your phone and utilizing your some of the strengths that are inherent in your brain/body.
If you can structure your time to create chunks of hyper focused time, where you focus on deep work...you will be in a fantastic place and realize the benefits such as improved productivity, increased creativity and high levels of job satisfaction.
I hope this was helpful! Thanks for being here! Take care!
