Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport
4.0
I am a big fan of Cal Newport. I am fascinated how he is able to live a simple ordinary life in spite being involved in so many projects.
Deep work is a real thing and the only thing that can provide us true satisfaction.
But today, we love to live with distractions, posting updates on social media or checking emails. It provides us a pseudo sense of busyness or productivity. These shallow tasks are of little value and can be done by anyone.
One thing to worry is the importance these shallow tasks are being given in corporate world. People doing these type of tasks are often appreciated while others who do valuable work get ignored. So people are being motivated to do these simple, easy tasks which gives you recognition.
Deep Work is rare. I feel all the methods suggested by Cal can become too overwhelming to be followed by an average person. But if we start with the process eventually we will end up doing much better work.
Doing better work is the answer to happy satisfied life.
