3. Schedule time for deep and inner work
Deep work is an uninterrupted period when you can fully focus on high-impact work.
Deep work requires a lot of energy, but you can be much more productive when you’re fully focused on what you’re doing. Make sure to schedule your deep work at a time when your energy is highest.
The length of time you’ll need for deep work should depend on your energy.
Remember that you need to manage your energy to have some left over for the rest of your day. Longer hours won’t always mean better deep work.
