Episode Synopsis

   Assess how feeling career stuck is impacting you across ten areas of life - in 30 minutes. Then, decide what you want to do about it.-I read the book Deep Work by Cal Newport some years ago and it hit me like a brick. It connected a few dots of thoughts that had been floating around my mind for years and it changed the way I structured my work week forever.  It felt like I'd found a magic wand that had been missing in my work life forever. Deep Work is the antidote to the kind of shallow, time frittering, needle stuck in place work that many professionals drown in daily.  Deep work is focused, distraction free, and high impact. It's the kind of work that shifts the needle on your biggest priorities and unlocks creative, innovative problem-solving. So, if you're someone who's ever glanced at a clock or at your watch at 5pm and thought Wait, what the heck did I actually do today? This Joy at Work experiment is for you. [00:00] Making Time for Deep Work - A Joy At Work Experiment[00:29] The Concept of Deep Work by Cal Newport[01:50] The Three Enemies of Deep Work[02:51] Implementing Deep Work - A Joy At Work Experiment[04:32 ]Personal Success and Encouragement to Try Deep Work
