The MSC - Deep Work by Kalan Newport

I am a principal statistician at Fairmed and I should put the disclaimer that these are my thoughts and opinions. But essentially, Deep Work is when you are focusing without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. We have shallow work and this is doing something non cognitively demanding. And there's then pseudo deep work, which is essentially doing something cognitively demanding but also being distracted. Things like maybe checking your phone, checking your email, those teams or Slack messages that you get. These context shifts, degrades your cognitive effectiveness and results in you only using a fraction of your full capable deep thought. Yeah, and everything then takes longer and you actually get more errors as well.
