When to use it

Use it when your most valuable work needs long, uninterrupted concentration.

How to apply it
  1. Identify the tasks that need your full concentration.
  2. Choose a deep work pattern, such as a fixed daily block.
  3. Schedule deep work sessions in your calendar.
  4. Remove distractions by closing email, chat and notifications.
  5. Work on a single task for the whole session.
  6. End the day with a short shutdown routine to close open loops.
Tip: Start with shorter sessions and lengthen them as your concentration improves.
