Core Idea: Deep Work

[@inkunziebomvu713]

"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.

[@w0nnafight]

@@weatherep0rt both of you are amateurs

[@anonyash]

OMG I OPENED COMMENTS TO QUOTE EXACTLY THIS 🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥

[@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.

[@midlife.mystic]

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.

[@lilianaandjesus]

So true

[@temirkhansmagulov1188]

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

[@nischit727]

@@temirkhansmagulov1188 hey please could me please recommend some of those videos ?

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 ?

[@omairmajid6072]

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

[@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."

[@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)

[@seal_l_l]

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.

[@ajaysaipureddy]

Probably the most impactful book in my life.

[@iankinyua4203]

I deeply appreciate this podcast😀

[@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.

[@jimmyhailwood1819]

Get after it Deeple People!! Let's Go!!

[@tanyawalker1673]

Currently reading your book and putting deep work principles into practice. Very happy with the shortened work days and more effective use of my time. Thank you Cal. I'll keep working on getting better at deep work, it's so good for getting things done and having better work life balance.

[@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

[@OscarOThoughts]

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.

[@AP_Aman33]

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

[@GYMSHIT]

Thanks professor Newport! Deep work is making its way around Seattle as we speak

[@Maxz4115]

Wow Carl Newport has a podcast??? Am freaking out... Deep work is one of my faves,

[@AlebachewTadie]

OMG! It is really extraordinarily the need of the day, the century and millennia too! Thank you very much!

[@axeldaguerre8838]

For some of us ask for these changes is hard, I work in a SAFe envirnment and IMO it's really a fixed one. BUT in my free time I am doing it. Thank you for this

Look deep into Cal’s eyes and stare deeply into his soul.

[@User-mncbjlfjrebxkl]

your book was the first book i read about productivity... it was one of the best value for money buys I did as a student

[@anhadamidbaatar8288]

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

[@anshulgupta583]

some really deep advice. i hope it goes deep into my brain.

[@someshpatel7660]

This ia a hell of a summary of our current times and how any one can improve on it. Thank you sir your deep work to teach us these valuable lessons. Salute to you :)

[@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.

[@Amaterasu_990]

I work at a university and am taking all this on; have the book Slow Productivity ~ great stuff, thanks.

Watching this after ordering. I think I won't be disappointed

[@collosgaia138]

Kitap, 40'tan fazla dilde yayımlanmış ve 1 milyondan fazla sattı.* 01:38 Deep *work, dikkat dağıtmadan belli bir zihinsel görevle yoğunlaşmak demektir. Bu, zor bir şey üzerinde düşünmek ve dikkatinizi başka yerlere kaydırmamak anlamına gelir.* 04:09 Deep *work, moral bir hiyerarşi değildir. Ancak, genellikle değeri yaratan temel faaliyetlerde bulunur ve bu, iş dünyasında başarıyı getirir.* 09:30 Derin *çalışma önemlidir çünkü bu önemli şey, giderek daha nadir hale gelmektedir. Bu nedenle, derin çalışmayı önceliklendiren bireyler ve organizasyonlar, rekabet avantajı elde eder.* 10:26 Derin *çalışmayı nasıl daha iyi yapabiliriz? Newport, konuyu kapsamlı bir şekilde ele aldığı kitabındaki bazı fikirleri paylaşıyor. Bu arada, derin çalışmanın tanımlanması, ölçülmesi ve hedeflenmesi önemlidir.* 13:03 Derin *çalışma zamanınızı planlayın ve koruyun. Bu, günlük iş akışınıza derin çalışma blokları eklemek ve bu zamanı diğer işlerle karıştırmamak anlamına gelir.* 14:12 Derin *çalışma becerisini geliştirmek için eğitim gereklidir. Dikkatinizi sürekli dağıttıysanız, derin çalışmaya başlamak zor olabilir.

[@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)."

[@Gigusx]

And reading a summary counts as reading the book.

[@hidalgov1]

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

[@Neonb88]

I like the pre-deep work ritual idea. KSafe first. Shower, water, a walk, but something fairly quick and refreshing

[@Neonb88]

Scheduling the sessions in the mornings is another gem

Deep work = flow 🌊

[@paultparker]

I posit that all deep work has flow, or at least most of it, but flow does not mean deep work. But maybe most things that put you into flow are good for training for deep work. Thoughts? Does he address this in the book?

[@AlexanderGavronsky]

I saw a clip of cal talking on the Huberman podcast where he very clearly laid out how deep work is vastly different from flow. Flow is usually effortless while deep work is usually very uncomfortable

[@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.

[@madWalker911]

I read your book a couple of years ago, and I plan to read it again. Such a great stuff. Thanks for writing it! P.S. Hello from Ukraine.

I'm coding an app, and I tend to look up solutions to my problems while coding, is this considered a context shift?

[@ignaciozamudio2392]

Please increase the volume for audio on your videos

[@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.

[@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?

[@ambinintsoahasina]

I don't know if there is a one-size fit all way to do it but you can try different methods, separately or combined and figure out what works for you. The basics are: - pre-performance rituals - keeping phone away - letting yourself get bored and deprived of distraction until you do what you ought to do. - noting down any thoughts coming to you during the session. - keep a 30 (or 20) minutes timer and devout in at least do it during this time range (it's about building momentum) - listening to soft music or white noise to keep your mind from wondering too much. Personally, I use the last one but maybe your thing is a combination of 2 or 3,or none of these but something else. It's a trial and error until you find THE one.

[@aliyusha]

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. And the title of the book in Russian is not direct translation of “deep work”, but says something like “throw your head in work” :))

[@coffeecoffee2096]

1:13 as mongolian 100% true

[@ms200924]

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.

[@StevenVargas-vg1kw]

I'm very knowledgeable...Hopefully I'll see you soon

[@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?
