Taylor reviewed Deep Work by Cal Newport
Review of 'Deep Work' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Structuring, blocking, and processes for work. The author was ahead of his time on social media and productive work rituals. He’s also probably the reason I can never find contact info on personal websites now.
If you’re wondering how a full length book can be written around the statement “Do better work”, so was I. But there are many helpful strategies to adopt for your own time management and professional accessibility. Some methods may be difficult if you’re not on the same level as Richard Branson, like “if you want to contact me, pay up”, or “tell me how badly you need to contact me, then fill out this survey, and we’ll see”. But some were very helpful, like shutdown rituals, fixed schedule productivity, and taking a break from focus with productive meditation outdoors.
