Three Business Trends

The New York Times, a bastion of old world media values, now encourages its employees to tweet. A third trend is the push for content producers of all types to maintain a social media presence. I mention these three business trends because they highlight a paradox. Many other ideas are being prioritized as more important than deep work in the business world. It's bad enough that so many trends are prioritized ahead of deep work, but some actively decrease one's ability to go deep.
