Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World
by Cal Newport
The general idea is a good one as I'm trying to find ways to better focus at work. Setting aside concentrated time to only work is really good, especially if you're working on a side project or a 'fun' project at work (like my employer allows us to reserve up to 10 hours a week on a 'thought' project).
But some of his techniques, particularly locking myself in a cabin and not responding to emails for a day, are not applicable to white collar workers whose response time is part of their job requirements. It's easy for a writer to do, it's not so easy for a project manager or client manager to pull off.
