These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.One to two hours a day, five days a week, of uninterrupted and carefully directed concentration, can produce a lot of valuable output.As a consequence, the few who cultivate this skill of going deep, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive.There is a way to incorporate deep work and escape the constant distraction. Here are a few strategies you can use:1. The easiest way to start deep work sessions is to transform them in to a regular habit. Set a time and a quiet location used for your deep tasks each day.2. Allow yourself to be lazy. Regularly resting your brain improves the quality of deep work. So when you work, work hard. But when you're done, be done.3. Schedule in advance when you'll use the Internet, and then avoid it altogether outside of these times. Write it down on a notepad and record the next time you're allowed to go online.For a novice, somewhere around 1 hour a day of intense concentration seems to be the limit, while for experts this number can expand to as many as four hours.
