From Cal Newport in the NYT : “The problems I focused on in Deep Work, and in my writing since, have been getting steadily worse. In 2016 my main concern was helping people find enough free time for deep work. Today I think we’re rapidly losing the ability to think deeply at all, regardless of how much space we can find in our schedules for these efforts.”
So, it’s getting worse. Fine. That only represents more of an opportunity for those who can leverage emerging productivity tools to implement stuff while at the same time master the ability to master deep focus to create stuff. I’ll take it.
