8 lessons from the book “Deep Work”

1. "Who you are, what you think, feel, and do, what you love—is the sum of what you focus on."

2. "The advantage of cultivating concentration so intense is that there is no attention left over to think about anything irrelevant, or to worry about problems."

3. "Human beings, it seems, are at their best when immersed deeply in something challenging.

The best moments usually occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile."

4. "To learn, in other words, is an act of deep work. If you’re comfortable going deep, you’ll be comfortable mastering the increasingly complex systems and skills needed to thrive."

5. "Decades of work from multiple different subfields within psychology all point toward the conclusion that regularly resting your brain improves the quality of your deep work."

6. "Separate your pursuit of serendipitous encounters from your efforts to think deeply and build on these inspirations. 

You should try to optimize each effort separately, as opposed to mixing them together into a sludge that impedes both goals."

7. "Spending time in nature can improve your ability to concentrate. 

This resource is finite: If you exhaust it, you’ll struggle to concentrate."

8. "By supporting deep work with rock-solid routines that make sure a little bit gets done on a regular basis, the rhythmic scheduler will often log a larger total number of deep hours per year."

Deep Work proposes that we have lost our ability to focus deeply and immerse ourselves in a complex task, showing you how to cultivate this skill again and focus more than ever before with four simple rules.
