Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Deep Work

Cal Newport
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. A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, DEEP WORK takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories -- from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air -- and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. DEEP WORK is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

“Bırakın zihniniz, dikkatin tek bir hedefe yönelmiş ışınları sayesinde bir merceğe dönüşsün; bırakın ruhunuz, zihninizi bütünüyle ele geçiren, merakınızı cezbeden fikre dört elle sarılsın.”

Nowadays as a result of development in communication technologies (mostly social media) people have tendency to lose control in their crucial tasks and they are desperate to take the control back. Our writer
Cal Newport
Cal Newport
is aware of this situation and proposing 4 "Deep Work" strategy with examples. For him Deep Work is the most precious skill in our century and he explains Deep work as: "Professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate". In order to achieve "Deep Work" benefits we should have ability to stay focus on a cognitively challenging task without being distracted. But because of the "Willpower" it is not easy to do. We should use our willpower energy in demanding and crucial task with Deep Work and after that we can take time for "Shallow Work" which he explains later on.
