I started the book “Deep Work” yesterday. My first impression is we are supposed to be disconnected from everything for extended periods of time. It feels like the author, Cal Newport, would suggest at least three to four hours of this uninterrupted work each day. He explains that DW is a way to bring lots of value to the world in a very efficient way. He also suggests that we can become the best in our fields if we learn how to do this. I would like to have problems to solve that I believe required “Deep Work.” Maybe the problems I am working on with marketing will require deep work. I think he uses Carl Jung as an example that had a property away from the city where he could do his deep work.
I like these quotes;
I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Carl Jung
