Deep Work
This is the holy grail of productivity when your mind is in high gear. As it is hard to summon at any time, we need to cultivate a routine, along with a system for keeping you consistent with your deep work. To get started on a deep work routine, you need to:
- Decide on a consistent time for the deep work.
- Start small, and gradually expand it.
- Eliminate distractions during that time.
- Track your progress and reward yourself on accomplishing your daily routine.
