How do you get to do deep work?

7 pointsby its_hertzalmost 3 years ago
What are your habits, what is your setup? How much time of deep work you get in a week? Do you have daily chunks or use some particular days for it?

I've recently started using trydeepwork.com! Nifty little tool for tracking your sessions.

I find playing something like the two playlists at the same time gives my brain enough to chew on without trying to anticipate the music:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=xXvrxLuTHGE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=xXvrxLuTHGE</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=DBP_jVpvQWs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=DBP_jVpvQWs</a> OR <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5i0Z0E5yaYI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5i0Z0E5yaYI</a>

I rarely had the benefit of deep work but I suspect it&#x27;s a combination of following items:<p>- Challenging work, interesting enough to hook up someone for at least a few hours non-stop<p>- Ownership<p>- Not many interruptions

I haven&#x27;t read it but think that the book &quot;Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World&quot; might be interesting for you.
