pickFinished this with about 90 minutes to spare in #SuperSeptember, hitting my goal of 4 books finished!
I'm not convinced this needed an entire book - it could have just been a long form article. Because if you're picking up this book, you're already bought into the idea you don't want to spend 1/3 of this book being preached to about the value of deep work. The examples also very much skew to white men, a little more diversity is needed.
pickI struggle with distraction. It wasn't great before 2020, but doomscrolling made it so much worse. I've made some attempts: todo lists, focus blocks, inbox zero, prioritized lists, to mixed success. Deep work has clicked for me. I think the focus on shallow, vs deep work, being intentional with your time, and what you're planning for, is really what's new about this for me.
pickI found this very intriguing. I am a person who struggles to not check notifications of new slack messages etc, so deep work can be hard for me. However, after reading this book, I‘ve been convinced to give it more of a go. #workbooks
I‘m listening to this one in hopes of applying some of the concepts to my creative work. I am constantly distracted in the workplace and don‘t make blocks for “deep work” … yet. Convince me Newport.
Listening on audio, and I like the narrator!
pickAbsolutely, loved this gem!
so-soThis was okay - a basic introduction to meditation and mindfulness. I was sucked in by the title!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enjoyable, to the point book about different kinds of focus and when and how to use them. I enjoy this author‘s “I‘ve been there and know what it‘s like to struggle with this” style. Some new stuff, some things I‘d heard before, but a nice, useful book.
so-soThis was okay… good tips and anecdotes. Trying to keep myself motivated in my career and moving ahead. Time to focus.
pickIf you wana read either Indistractable or Deep Work . Go with Deep Work. I will read it again !
