What's Deep Work?
The essence of Deep Work is to concentrate on a challenging task without any distractions. It's when your entire mind is engaged in activities like writing, designing, thinking, or solving problems. In a world filled with phones, messages, and social media, staying attentive like this is becoming less common, but much more crucial and beneficial.

What being granular in your crafting means is paying close attention to the smallest details of your work, mastering the fundamentals, refining your skills, and continuously improving with purpose. But doing this well requires your effort because distractions are always nearby like phones, emails, messages, social media which constantly fight for your attention. multitasking may feel productive, but often lacks deepness and long-term growth. true mastery requires solitude and time developing precision and depth in any craft means carving out space for uninterrupted work.
How I Practice Deep Work.
- I Set Clear Goals.
I always have a clear idea of what I want to accomplish before starting any action.'". I find it easier to concentrate and remember what I have written, especially when I say "write 1,000 words for chapter 3".
I Schedule Deep Work Time.
I schedule specific hours for deep work, usually around 1 to 3 hours when I am feeling most awake, such as in the morning. I regard this meeting as a crucial one. I avoid any distractions during these hours to ensure my complete concentration.
SOURCEI Remove Distractions.
Clearing myself of distractions is my way to remain focused. I put my phone on airplane mode or keep it as far away as possible from me, block websites that are unproductive, and maintain a peaceful and conducive work environment for mental stimulation. Sometimes, I tune out without words or use noise-reducing headphones to enhance my focus.
Why deep work matters to me is because I can concentrate on my task more effectively, improve my work and gain new knowledge. Choosing to engage in deep-seated work is not just about productivity; it's also about being unique and excelling in your craft.
