You’ll find a million suggestions and courses online if you want to research productivity and maximize your time. Having spent a lot of time on these topics, I would like to share one of the topics that I found very intriguing – The deep work Hypothesis
The deep work Hypothesis states that to produce results at an elite level, we need to master the art of deep work. Deep work is committing 100% of our focus to the task at hand by eliminating distractions from our environment.
Cal Newport’s teaches us the underlying philosophy and science behind the concept of deep work. He also gives us some great examples of people who have benefited from
The idea of deepwork unlockes a whole new dimension in the world of professional success.What does deep work mean? you may ask.

Shallow work refers to the work that can be done without having the need to focus intensely, its something that can be performed while distracted or simultaneously with another task.
These are typically the tasks which arent’t hard to do. Following the same approach for tasks that might demand a lot more would end up with poor quality of work.
