So lately I've been reading a lot about the concept of "deep work" or basically the giving of your full, undivided attention to a task.
I've always found it strange that when I'm working REALLY hard, I crap out right around 4 hours and my productivity nosedives after this.
Cal Newport, author of Deep Work, basically backs this up and says that beyond that 4 hours, you're basically toast to having less than stellar productivity.
I'm in a job where I have to create. I don't get paid hourly, I'm entirely based on raw amount of product pushed out. This is different from most wageslave jobs where you can afford to fuck around for 3 hours a day.
TBH, I always felt like kind of a pussy because I have huge trouble focusing beyond those hours, but it seems to make a bit more sense now.
What are your thoughts on the idea of Deep Work?
