In his book, Cal Newport<\/a> argues that the ability to focus without distractions is becoming increasingly rare – and valuable – in today’s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He cites research showing that many workers now spend the majority of their time engaged in shallow work – tasks that are easily interrupted and require little concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, they have less and less time for deep work – the kind of creative thinking that leads to breakthrough ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newport argues that we need to find ways to carve out time for deep work if we want to stay ahead in today’s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He offers a four-rule framework for doing this: (1) schedule time for deep work, (2) develop routines that help you stay focused, (3) train your attention muscle, and (4) embrace boredom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these rules, we can learn to focus deeply and produce our best work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To learn hard things quickly, you must focus intensely without distraction.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
