Deep Work : Book

Rule # 1 - Work Deeply.

1. Decide on Your Depth Philosophy

2. Ritualize.
-Where you'll work, For how long?
- How you'll work once you start to work?
- How you'll support your work?

3. Make Grand Gestures.

5. Execute Like a Business.
The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX)
Discipline#1: Focus on the Wildly Important.
Discipline#2: Act on the Lead Measures.
Discipline#3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard.
Discipline#4: Create a Cadence of Accountability.

6. Be Lazy.
Reason#1: Downtime Aids Insights.
Reason#2: Downtime Helps Recharge the Energy Needed to Work Deeply.
Reason#3: The Work That Evening Downtime Replaces Is Usually Not That Important.
The three reasons just described support the general strategy of maintaining a strict endpoint to your workday.
Support your commitment to shutting down with a strict shutdown ritual that you use at the end of the workday to maximize the probability that you succeed.

Rule # 2 - Embrace Boredom.

1. Don't Take Breaks from Distraction. Instead Take Breaks from Focus.
Point#1: This strategy works even if your job requires lots of Internet use and/or prompt e-mail replies.
Point#2: Regardless of how you schedule your Internet blocks, you must keep the time outside these blocks absolutely free from Internet use.
Point#3: Scheduling Internet use at home as well as at work can further improve your concentration training.

2. Work Like Teddy Roosevelt.

3. Meditate Productively.

4. Memorize a Deck of Cards.

Rule # 3 - Quit Social Media.

Rule # 4 - Drain the Shallows.

1. Schedule Every Minute of Your Day.
You can batch similar things into more generic task blocks.
Your goal is not to stick to a given schedule at all costs; it's instead to maintain, at all times, a thoughtful say in what you're doing with your time going forward.

2. Quantify the Depth of Every Activity.

4. Finish Your Work by Five Thirty

5. Become Hard to Reach
