The Deep Work Definition: Ditch the Shallow End
“‘Distraction is the enemy of vision.’ With that in mind, think of deep work as the superhero you’ve been waiting for – the one that helps you conquer this enemy. It’s not just about turning off your phone notifications and getting stuff done. It’s about immersing yourself in a state of flow where you can churn out high-quality work in less time.”

Respect your Downtime: Work Hard, Rest Well
