What is deep work?
Deep work, a term coined by Cal Newport, is focused, distraction-free work on a cognitively demanding task. It is the state where real progress happens, the opposite of shallow busywork like email and quick messages.
Why deep work is so hard now
Every device is engineered to interrupt you, and the same screen you work on holds your biggest distractions one tab away. The moment a task gets hard, the brain reaches for an easier hit, and the deep state collapses.
