There are three scheduling strategies for deep work: rhythmic, bimodal, and journalistic. Rhythmic scheduling involves working at the same times and days every week, which helps your brain get used to the idea of deep work and makes it easier to get into the mode. Bimodal scheduling involves alternating between periods of intense deep work and periods of being completely reachable. Journalistic scheduling is more flexible and entails finding and making time for deep work sessions on the fly, depending on your weekly schedule. To succeed with the journalistic method, you should schedule your deep work sessions on your calendar like any other meeting. If you often feel exhausted when it's time for deep work, try doing less and simplifying your deep work life. Consider switching to rhythmic scheduling, particularly in the morning when your energy levels are highest, and reduce your overall workload if necessary.
