Abordagem extraordinária no trabalho

An Amazon Best Book of 2016 Pick in Business & LeadershipWall Street Journal Business BestsellerA Business Book of the Week at 800-CEO-READ One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results. Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In DEEP WORK, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, DEEP WORK takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. DEEP WORK is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

Deep Work

“Quando nada parece dar certo, verei o cortador de pedras martelando sua rocha talvez 100 vezes, sem que uma única rachadura apareça. Mas na centésima primeira martelada a pedra se abre em duas, e eu sei que não foi aquela que conseguiu isso, mas todas as que vieram antes.”

A força de pequenos esforços somados

“Em algum momento, tudo se resume a quem é capaz de lidar com o tédio de treinar todos os dias, fazendo os mesmos levantamentos repetidas vezes.”É a regra da inversão aplicada aos hábitos. Ao invés de procurar por inspiração, a meta é suportar o tédio da rotina. Desde que ela esteja te levando para um bom lugar.&nbsp;

Importância do Tédio

"Houve muitas séries de exercícios que eu não queria terminar, mas nunca me arrependi de ter cumprido o treino.Montes de artigos que não tinha vontade de escrever, mas nunca me arrependi de publicá-los no prazo. Houvemuitos dias em que senti vontade de relaxar, mas nunca me arrependi de ter comparecido e trabalhado em algoque fosse importante para mim."

O resultado nunca decepciona

"O objetivo de estabelecer metas é ganhar o jogo. O propósito de construir sistemas é continuar jogando.""A formação de todo hábito é um ciclo de feedback (um conceito que aprofundamos no próximo capítulo), mas é importante deixar que seus valores, princípios e identidade, e não seus resultados, orientem o ciclo. O foco deve ser sempre se tornar um tipo de pessoa e não obter um resultado particular."Sistemas melhores são o que garantem sucesso

Vencedores e Perdedores possuem a mesma meta

Como escreveu o matemático e filósofo Alfred North Whitehead: “A civilização avança estendendo o número de operações que podemos realizar sem pensar.”

Operações automáticas

"Em qualquer eleição, haverá votos para ambos os lados. Não é necessária uma votação unânime para vencer umaeleição; a maioria dos votos é suficiente. Não importa se você deposita alguns votos para um maucomportamento ou um hábito improdutivo. Seu objetivo é simplesmente vencer pela maioria."

Todos os dias você vota no tipo de pessoa que quer ser

"Seus resultados são uma mensuração tardia de seus hábitos. Seu patrimônio líquido é uma mensuração tardia deseus hábitos financeiros. Seu peso é uma mensuração tardia de seus hábitos alimentares. Seu conhecimento, deseus hábitos de aprendizado. Sua bagunça, de seus hábitos de limpeza. Você colhe o que planta e cultiva."

Mensuração tardia

Como observou Machiavelli: “Os homens desejam a novidade de tal maneira que aqueles que estão indo bem desejam tanto a mudança quanto os que estão se saindo mal.”

Desejo de mudança

"O fato de você ter um limite natural para qualquer habilidade específica não tem nada a ver com o fato de ter atingido ou não o limite de suas capacidades. As pessoas ficam tão presas no fato de que têm limites que raramente exercem o esforço necessário para se aproximar deles."

Longa caminhada antes de chegar nos seus limites

"Você pode reformular “Estou nervoso” para “Estou animado e estou recebendo uma descarga de adrenalina parame ajudar a me concentrar.” Essas pequenas mudanças de atitudes mentais não são mágicas, mas ajudam amudar os sentimentos que você associa a um determinado hábito ou situação. Se quiser dar um passo adiante,você pode criar um ritual de motivação. Você simplesmente pratica a associação de seus hábitos com algo deque gosta, então pode usar esse estímulo sempre que precisar de um pouco de motivação."

Fascinado em vez de frustrado

"A vida parece reativa, mas é preditiva. Durante todo o dia, você faz seu melhor palpite de como agir, dado o que acabou de ver e o que funcionou no passado. Você está infinitamente prevendo o que vai acontecer no próximo momento."Ou seja, o que você faz hoje vai alterar suas ações amanhã. Se a mudança está ocorrendo, suas previsões vão mudando e, ao longo do tempo, o efeito composto começa a agir.

Preditivo e não reativo

Atomic Habits

It's true even metaphorically. For example, self-awareness can help prevent bad habits.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

For more than two decades, psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman has been scouting the leading edge of the human sciences for what's new, surprising, and important. In Focus, he delves into the science of attention in all its varieties, presenting a long overdue discussion of this little-noticed and under-rated mental asset that matters enormously for how we navigate life. Goleman boils down attention research into a three parts: inner, other, and outer focus. Goleman shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus, as demonstrated by rich case studies from fields as diverse as competitive sports, education, the arts, and business. Those who excel rely on what Goleman calls Smart Practices such as mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental 'prosthetics' that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain excellence. Combining cutting-edge research with practical findings, Focus reveals what distinguishes experts from amateurs and stars from average performers.

Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business. The Wall Street Journal ranked him one of the 10 most influential business thinkers. Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times best sellers list for a year-and-a-half. Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 40 languages. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.”  Goleman’s new book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, argues that attention — a fundamental mental ability for success — has come under siege.
