233: How to Make Deep Work Happen, with Cal Newport

Cal Newport: Deep Work

Cal Newport, author of Deep Work*, teaches us the rules for focused success in a distracted world.

Key Points

The Four Rules of Deep Work:

  • Work Deeply
  • Embrace Boredom
  • Quit Social Media
  • Drain the Shallows

How to get started with Deep Work:

  • Train your brain to be better at focusing (example: put your phone away after dinner)
  • Set aside time for deep work (example: set aside five hours a week for deep work)
  • Make a move in your life that signals to yourself that you take the ability to focus seriously (example: quitting a social media service)
