The Importance of Deep Work

I've been reading a book called deep work by Cal Newport. It's one of the best books I think you'll ever read, probably overall, probably the most valuable book in today's society. Shallow work is non cognitively demanding logistical style tasks often performed while distracted. The efforts tend to not create much new value in the world and are easy to replicate. This is where Americans are at right now - we're doing all of this shallow work which leads to the feeling of fake busy.
