Early in Cal Newport <http://calnewport.com/blog/>s new book, Deep

Work: Rules For Focused Success In A Distracted World
<https://bookshop.theguardian.com/catalog/product/view/id/360261/>, he
meets an architect who dreams of deep work chambers heavily
soundproofed boxes, each the size of a small room, permitting total
focus and uninterrupted workflow. I want one. Alternatively, Id settle
for Mark Twains arrangement: a writing shed on a farm, so far from the
main house that his family summoned him to meals using a horn. These
days, few people need convincing that intense focus is a good thing,
constantly threatened by email and social media. The real challenge for
anyone writing a book on the matter, lies in answering the plaintive
follow-up: Yes, but how? You dont need to hear again about Bill
Gatess regular think weeks
<http://lifehacker.com/5670380/the-power-of-time-off>, spent in rural
isolation with only books for company. You want to know how to find time
for thinking given /your /job, /your /toddlers, /your /boss, and your
baffling yet stubborn failure to achieve Gatess 55bn net worth.
The first part of Newports answer is a financial incentive. Deep work
is no nostalgic affectation of writers and philosophers, he insists;
its essential if youre to master the kind of work that will remain
lucrative once robots are doing the rest
Page 10

<http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/sep/18/are-machines-making-humansobsolete>.
Todays rewards, he notes, dont go to those who use Facebook, but those
who build its code, a task demanding long stretches of focused thought.
(Our best brains now make their millions using their focus to damage
everyone elses.) So its an error to think youre too busy with office
chores or parenting for deep work. Its deep work that will let you keep
that job and feed those kids.
Newports more encouraging second point is that theres no need to
become a monk. This monastic philosophy of deep work is the one we
associate with great authors or artists, unencumbered by day jobs and/or
families. But its only one of four approaches he outlines. The others
are bimodal (taking a few days at a time for deep work), rhythmic (a
few scheduled hours a day or week) and journalistic (seizing moments
as they arise).
Its liberating to stop yearning for monkish conditions youll never
attain and instead see yourself as a rhythmic or journalistic deep
worker. Another switch of perspective: stop taking breaks from
distraction and instead take breaks from focus. Dont think in terms
of shutting off email or Twitter for an hour; make shut-off the default,
and make sporadic forays into connectivity. And, yes, he maintains, you
can do this even if your job is heavily dependent on the internet.
Youll just have to make your forays more frequent.

<http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jan/15/less-news-is-good-news-oliv
er-burkeman>
What emerges most powerfully is the sense that its wrong to think of
deep work as one more thing youve got to try to cram into your
schedule. Truly committing to it, Newport suggests, transforms the rest
of your time so youll crank through shallow work faster, be more
present in your home life, and eliminate time wasted switching between
tasks. Depth, in short, isnt at odds with a full life it facilitates
it. Im persuaded. I still want one of those soundproofed chambers, though.
