Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World
by Cal Newport, 2016
Quick read. Builds upon and consolidates the blog Study Hacks.
The premise of the book is that
High-Quality Work Produced = (Time Spent) x (Intensity of Focus).
This book is about getting the most benefit from your limited working hours. During undergrad years, I used to say that as the time to the deadline went to zero, my productivity went to 100%. This is because I stopped being distracted and hit maximum efficiency. This book offers advice on how to get toward that goal without the necessity of constant deadlines.
