This presentation is based on the research and book done by Cal Newport: DEEP WORK.

Deep Work – Professional activities performed in a state of concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit, and are hard to replicate.

Shallow Work – Noncognitively demanding, logistical-style tasks, often performed while distracted. These efforts tend to not create much new value in the world and are easy to replicate.

To remain valuable in our economy, therefore, you must master the art of quickly learning complicated things. To succeed you have to produce the absolute best stuff you’re capable of producing — a task that requires depth.

3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week, of uninterrupted and carefully directed concentration, can produce a lot of valuable output.

The lessons presented here are for the student, athlete, coach, parent, strength coach, and personal trainer. They are also for the executive, entrepreneur, marketer, web developer, videographer, cinematographer, writer, singer, pianist, and any other producer or creative.
