Deep Work

Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, and the author most recently of Deep Work, a book which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace, and So Good They Can’t Ignore You, a book which debunks the long-held belief that “follow your passion” is good advice. He has also written three popular books of unconventional advice for students. His ideas and writing are frequently featured in major publications and on TV and radio.

One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results.

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.

In DEEP WORK, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.

A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, DEEP WORK takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. DEEP WORK is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

读后感

最近，大学同学的微信群又活跃了起来，因为大家已经毕业十年了，正在讨论聚会的事情，大家忙着更新联系方式、所在城市、工作单位和职务。联系我正在读的《深度工作》这本书，不禁让我想到了几个严肃的问题，与刚毕业时相比，通过这几年的工作我们到底学到了哪些过硬的技能？升...

有件事，我一直印象很深刻。 逢年过节，家里总是聚满了很多亲戚，一般情况是大人们凑两桌麻将，小孩子们在一旁吃喝玩闹。那年我刚上小学，有个远房亲戚第一次把他上高中的儿子带到我们家里过节，印象中这个哥哥话不多，礼貌地问完好，就自己不声不响地坐在一旁翻书，还时不时地...  

01 刚准备好好写一份文案稿，可没过十分钟，就有电话打进来，打断了思路；正专心做产品设计，才有点新思路，没来得及文字记录，某客户就来追问下周项目进度安排……碎片化时代，邮件、电话、微信、会议等随时都会来袭，工作容易被打断，每个人的时间都被切分成零散的小块。那些...  

Deep Work讲的深度工作的状态的第一步是清楚认识到什么样的工作算是Deep Work？在作者看来，创作一本书，算是Deep Work，在科学领域做出一个新的发现和发明是Deep Work，为一个很难的考试学习和准备，创作音乐，创立和运营一家公司，读一篇复杂的文章，以及为某一项体育运动而...  

用户评价

读完后把朋友圈关了,whatsapp和facebook都注销了。想成为一名应用数学家，必须要有专注思考的能力。打算今后通过阅读＋练琴＋跑步来锻炼自己的专注力。

提高个人效率的下一个训练重点。

[有声书] 先读的Newport的新书digital minimalism，所以发现这本畅销书里关于网络使用的内容有重复。不过嘛，这种书读/听下来，能有一两个小点子能尝试就不错啦！对于我来说：1. 走路或者开车一般会听音乐或者有声书，不过现在打算试试想问题，比如如何写一篇文章的某一部分（尤其是introduction）；2. 每周规划X个小时的deep work的时间（按我的工作生活习惯估计需要早起做这些），并且要有明确的要解决的问题，还值得记录投入的时间，对比投入和产出；3. 晚饭后和周末不工作，除非是因为那一周别的事情耽误了需要补回一点。

写书、在科学领域做出新发现或发明、备考很难的考试，写歌谱曲、创立和运营一家公司、读复杂的文章，以及为某项体育运动而不断练习，这些都是Deep Work。

本书建立在这个前提上：对于知识劳动者来说，深层工作是发挥潜能的必经之路，并根据各种研究提出了以下几点：1、人在投入工作时常比在放松时更快乐，区别在于有无提前对时间的计划；2、rituals可以减少意志力的消耗，从而让人得以更快开始深层工作；3、有时对工作坏境做出改变，让自己与网络和嘈杂隔绝，从而增加深层工作，但在日常生活中，可以考虑（1）设定上网时间，（2）利用chain method来增加自己的意愿；4、对于那些需要处理大量抽象信息的问题来说，潜意识思维常比主动思维更重要，所以要给大脑留出空间；5、每天确定一个“结束工作”时间，之后不再思考任何有关工作的事，如果工作做不完，就延长工作日，但要明确知道“今天已经结束”了的时间；6、社交网络对大多数知识工作者来说都弊大于利，所以要有所取舍。
