"If you prioritize depth in an increasingly shallow world, there is large rewards you will get" Cal. This quote alone gives me the essence of deep work

[@weatherep0rt]

Kinda the meaning of "living with intention" if you think about it. Amazing.

I've been realizing lately some of the best videos on KZbin don't have millions of views. This is a gem. Really important wisdom, and well articulated.

[@Aviao100]

So true

[@temirkhansmagulov1188]

Agree. There are such videos and this is one of them

[@nischit727]

Captain disillusion and ted ed are the purest gems 💎

[@adelacelle]

Very true ! But if it had 100 million views, by definition it wouldn't be a gem, wouldn't it ?

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

The "work" I do used to be deep. Then the corporate greed crept in and they started adding more tasks in order to have less people doing the tasks. In healthcare it's become the norm. and that is why there are so many medical mistakes, small and large.

[@omairmajid6072]

This talk was deep. I'm deeply grateful. Deep on deepening, everyone!

I'm a long time fan and I just realized how much evangelizing Cal does for his systems. I used to think Deep Work more of a how-to/process, but now I am realizing it was a manifesto. It's awesome.

[@anhadamidbaatar8288]

So glad to find out that this book is actually available in my language. Mongolian. I’m gonna go buy it now.❤

[@ms200924]

Thinking hard and working hard is the easy part. Doing so without distraction, without context switching, is the hard part. Sustained hard thinking and hard work allows a deeper understanding of the work; deeper insights. Great clip about deep work Cal, appreciated

[@jesselangel4939]

After being a devoted podcast listener, it's a trip to see Cal in person. BEAST with the eye contact on video. Get 'em, Cal! I love your content. I refer to it as "calm-minded thinking and productivity."

[@iankinyua4203]

I deeply appreciate this podcast😀

[@ms200924]

The importance of deep work is the quality of output. Deep work is the innovation which moves the needle, the practical application of deep insights which makes the individual or company more successful (as measured in the most important metric)

[@nomadic_jordan]

Thank you Cal, you've changed my life with this book.

[@rajeshgaddam812]

Can you pls elaborate on your success story with this book? It will help understand how to adopt this in others lives

[@otter_haru]

Thank you so much. Im an artist - quite far from corporate job or tech - and with the help of your videos i realised that this is the deep work that lets me grow and develop and produce value.

[@MrRayrenz]

Thank you for your work Cal. I'm a computer science grad and I'm struggling to develop my knowledge and your book has helped me regain that inner motivation to get better with what I do.

[@ajaysaipureddy]

Probably the most impactful book in my life.

[@GlocOr33]

Summary 1. Define the topic i want to work deeply. 2. Measure deep work weekly in hours. 3. Change the Process till you improve. 4. Schedule it and do it don't wait. Have ritual. 5. Avoid Mobile/Distraction. Dont give Up. Till 15:22

Thank you! This was fantastic and very helpful!

[@Shamele55]

Its what Ive needed to hear today - I had these thoughts for a while, but its communicated out so well. Saved

[@juliesaadwellness]

I needed to hear that. Oddly enough, I feel like I struggle with shallow work sometimes too, because I now know that my phone has to be in another room, etc. when I do deep work, but, when I’m doing shallow work I tend to let myself check my email several times and so on. So I’m going to play with the idea of making my shallow work not so shallow! And I’m going to get the book, obviously.

[@jamieg2427]

this was a long video to say, "if you want to actually be productive or learn, schedule time for the task that is completely distraction free. completely. it's largely difficult tasks that are skill or thought based work that require this. and it helps to be mindful of how much time am i spending on deep work and how much time i'm spending on shallow work, which is also needed as well (such as routine emails, taking care of invoices, and other logistical tasks)."

Deep Work certainly looks like the portal to get into Flow.

[@fgh83-eb4tq]

in my experience dopamine detox is also really helpful for better concentration

[@andrewtarkington]

Deep work = flow 🌊

[@scoobydoobies]

One thing I struggle with is the chicken-egg advice of "get better at focusing by focusing". I find it hard to stay away from distractions, and the solution is to simply do it?

[@saif0316]

One of the only books that I could actually finish :D

[@gargantaprofunda4889]

great content. Away from the clickbait stream Cal videos do not get the attention of the masses, however his quality content helps each person that is willing to learn from his deep knowledge. Cal knows the real deal, he creates value and one can identify that, so he gives trustworthy tools. I also bet Cal leaves with no remorse for the content he creates, in contrast to all the crap-"creators" whose only motivation is to persuade you to drip your money. This guy is a gem! and he also sets EXAMPLE.

[@marissapearson1441]

Is this considered Deep Work? Hello, I’ve recently accepted my first salesman job and it is by far the hardest thing that I have ever done in my entire life. I’m really struggling with understanding the process completely and producing better results because of it. Normally when a challenge presents itself at work I can conquer it but with this salesman job I can’t. Everyday when I’m at work I try extremely hard to produce flawless results, and when I don’t I try even harder to produce those results. When that doesn’t work I try even harder than that, finally when all of my strength is gone and nothing works I still try even harder and I finally get that flawless result that I worked for. I’ve applied this tactic to all of my past jobs that came with difficult task and it had always worked. Now with this new salesman job I’ve done that I’ve applied this same tactic but it’s not working at all.

Deep work adds the most value which is what gets you paid. Whether you get paid in dollars or attention (monetized attention). Other work is necessary but not equal because it doesn't add the same value for customers. Being busy is not deep work.

Let's say I want to work on my alternate picking technique on the guitar. I want to develop a technique where I'm picking every note at a very high speed but with absolute machine perfect precision and accuracy. It's technical development. Does that count as deep work?

The Russian version isn’t sold even as electronic version.. maybe the distribution rights have ended… but a lot of countries of CIS region (ex-USSR countries) read in Russian.

[@mb3n88]

if you deep work for 60-90 mins with 10mins break. what do u do in that 10 mins break? wouldnt that 10mins break cause task switching? meaning if u want to continue working another 60-90mins after, ur brain will only "restart" after 23-26mins later (which wasted like half of your next deepwork session. how?

One of the examples you give, trying to figure out how to create a graph in PowerPoint, could be (at least it seems to me) deep work *for that person.* By saying it's not, aren't you making a judgment call rhat learning how to use tool properly (PPT) doesn't require deep concenrtration?
