In my weekly summary of the podcast episode of the last 7 days I share my key insights and lessons gleaned from a week of continuing my journey to develop my personal productivity. These include:
- Understanding the four different approaches to deep work (according to Cal Newport).
- 4 Questions that need answering in order to make the most of your deep work sessions.
- The Four Disciplines of Execution - four things to help your execution of deep work.
- How taking time out form work actually helps you produce more, better quality work.
- How concentration is a skill that can be developed (and not a habit you can simply turn on and off).
- Learning to fall in love with your work engages the most powerful part of your brain and helps you eradicate procrastination and any resistance you have to doing deep work.
- How to use walks to help develop your concentration.
- A reminder of how activities I was once world class at (no seriously I was) are recommended to help develop mental abilities.
- It's easier to talk about thinking around a professional challenge than actually doing it.
