Deep Work



I remember this suffering from the 'Shoulda Been a Blog Post' disease, like everything else on the Business / Self-Help shelf. But it's good; Newport's argument has permeated the tech world already, so the idea that we need to preserve time for and practice 'deep work' is pretty much in the ether already for me. Still good to think about it, though.

I read this years ago, but went to this site today in order to refresh myself on notes from it, and... it wasn't here. So, adding it today.
