Focus is a superpower in a distracted world. Protect your attention.

Notes & highlights

  • Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task.
  • High-quality work produced = (Time spent) x (Intensity of focus)
  • The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare and valuable in our economy.
  • Schedule every minute of your day. Give every hour a job.
