Getting the Most Out of Your Deep Work Habit

Once your brain has become accustomed to on-demand distraction, it's hard to shake the addiction even when you want to concentrate. The Internet Sabbath is a popular suggestion for distraction addiction that doesn't quite solve our problem. I propose an alternative: Instead of scheduling the occasional break from distraction so you can focus, you should instead schedule the occasional breakfrom focus to give in to distraction. This strategy will help you rewire your brain to a configuration better suited to staying on task.
