MOMENT 16: Unlock Intense Focus & Achieve Extraordinary Results | Cal Newport
from Melissa Ambrosini · host Melissa Ambrosini
Do you get caught up doing ‘busy work’, instead of engaging in the deep, meaningful work that actually moves the needle? In this inspiring moment, bestselling author and professor of computer science Cal Newport shares the life-changing distinction between “deep” and “shallow” work, and how to identify each kind in your own workday. Press play to discover: what it really feels like to do deep work (and why it’s a good thing if your work feels hard sometimes), how to think like an artist but work like an accountant, and why deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy.
