What is Cal Newport's theory of deep work?
Deep work, as I define it, is professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate. It's about deliberately scheduling blocks of uninterrupted time to engage with cognitively demanding tasks, which is crucial for producing high-quality work and developing valuable expertise.
