Things To Give Up To Move Closer To Deep Work
- Give up being endlessy busy. Modern-day society hero-worships busyness. Most ‘hustlers’ who end up burning out are doing shallow tasks, not deep work.
- Give up open-plan offices. Hearing other people’s work problems can create a work problem for you.
- Give up a multi-tab life. Using a browser with excessive numbers of tabs open is like working on a messy desk.
- Give up the story of why you can’t. We’re all able to access deep work.
- Give up over-preparation. When you want your deep work to be perfect it eludes you.
- Give up over-education. Education can be procrastination.
