Deep Work: Summary in English

By Joel Shiral

One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results.
Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.
In DEEP WORK, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.

Deep work – Summary in English

Part 1: The concept

Deep work is based on your ability to intensely exploit your intellectual abilities to extract maximum value. To improve your results and your faculties , you must have a deep work approach or deep work in English.

All infotainment sites as sources of distraction with their multiple access via smartphones and computers fragment attention. Sites like Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and others cannot favor deep work, which requires long periods of uninterrupted work. In an era where all these network tools reign supreme, in-depth work is akin to superficial activity. For example, in your workplace, you often need to:

Permanently send and receive emails like real human routers.

Have frequent breaks in fleeting moments of distractions.
