If you are looking for a way to become more effective and more productive, deep work is the mindset you need. This will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment.
Have you ever talked about a product you liked with a friend and then an advertisement for that same product showed up on your Facebook timeline? That’s not a coincidence.
Have you ever noticed that when you get that “lightbulb” moment, you are usually walking, driving or showering? That’s because you’re doing something that is physically meditative and thinking about a single, well-defined problem.
Do you find yourself procrastinating to get that project done? Or maybe you feel like you don’t have enough time during the work day due to constant distractions? Creating a routine and changing your work habits is something you might want to consider.
The buzzing of your phone, binging sound from your email, a blinking light from an instant message awaiting your response, co-workers talking around you. These are all things that take your attention away from your work.
