The Art of Improvement Greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have a proposal to create a chanel on RUclips and tranlate ur videos in russian
I just want to note that AI can more easily imitate deep work than it can physical labor. Those in the Oil Industry legitimately supply the entire power grid and they aren't doing deep work, yet the lowest laborer in the US Oil Industry can make 100k a year starting.
I know this is old and you may not read it but i have a weird skill, i can learn nearly anything in a week(i did a 3 year course in 6 months and placed well) but if im not using it daily i will forget nearly all of it in a few months i am no superstar since i cannot produce at speed but quality is something im ok with.
any idea's on retention?
i have tried several memory type courses from the library and nothing helped.
@@j2582 The deep work for the oilfield is being done by brain trusts at the universities in Canada.
Just an FYI... Take it or leave it... I taught English to high school students, and when furthering my education, I got a degree in teaching reading. One of the most important things I learned, and knew from experience, that you should always read poems and important things twice, if not more. You read first for content, and secondly, for deeper comprehension. I always repeat my reading if it’s something I want to retain.
Thank you
Yes, thank you!
So is it also applicable on watching informative video like this? Like should I watch it 2x? Normally I would take down notes while watching the vid and that's it. Should I watch + take down notes and watch it again?
@@IA10105 For me I would read/watch things as fast I can the first time to the point where I have a basic understanding of the way the content is structured/flows then I take notes because I have an underlying idea of how I want them to be structured and what stood out on my first read
Thx
A few hours of deep work is worth more than long hours of unproductive work
Quality > Quantity times and times again.
@@planetary-rendez-vous not in eu4
Amen
This is commonsense
everyone is capable of deep work but we prefer long hours of unproductive work. you get what you paid for. LOL
- remove distractions
- schedule a specific time for deep work
- make it a specific location
Thank you for this ❤ I appreciate concise and clear
I live in Vienna, Austria and whenever I go to a classical concert I'm leaving inspired and eager to work more. Why? Because of all the musicians who play with absolute mastery. I know how long it takes to become that good. Those musicians started learning when they were 4-5 years old. Now they're over 30, performing all over Europe. Working on their skills each day. I have so much respect for anyone who has mastered a skill. This World truly does not have enough of dedicated people. Dedication, consistency, patience. Those traits are to be admired and worked on. Great video and I'm very happy to see you have covered this topic, thank you.
Hi Pola, I was in Austria last year when i cycled the Eurovelo 6, was in Vienna too your city is fantastic with great people. Actually its one of the best cities along the entire route. And the scenery in your country is breath taking I loved it! The feeling I had after washing in the Danube (I'm sure it was the Danube and not still the Rhine) and coming out to my little campsite to sit and watch the boats go by into the early hours of the morning with my brother man I can't explain that feeling but Austria is a special place. I will be back to your wonderful country! Who are the artists that have inspired you to work more?

“what we choose to focus on and what we choose to ignore-plays in defining the quality of our life.”
- Cal Newport
GrowthMindset that’s 🔥🔥
*Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great makes you feel that you, too, can become great..*
Agreed.
This is definitely a game changer. If you hang out with a bunch of losers, even if you don't spend that much time with them, they'll still drag you slowly to their side.
For ADHD brains among us, the advice here is almost comical. ADHD causes something called "hyperfocus", which is essentially uncontrolled deep work. Our problem isn’t developing habits that encourage deep work, it’s developing habits to DIScourage inappropriate deep work. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked up from several hours of hyperfocus just to realize I’ve written code I don’t need, or fully researched an irrelevant topic, or planned out a project that will never get done, or developed a skill I’ll never use productively.
this is a new concept to me which really resonates with the way my brain works. Thank you @gregg.
sure
I came here for this comment.
As a business owner I totally agree with this, having a daily schedule has helped me so much as long as it was combined with a daily written goal accountability time log. :) also I must stress just how much getting up at 5 in the morning and doing some exercising has really improved my energy and my stamina in my overall health which in turn gives me even more ability to perform, I think health and getting up early are both something that is often overlooked when it comes to success.
Good work. Retired, but got rid of 10 pounds (20 to go) and reduced my blood sugar from 166 (diabetes) to 100 with tracking as well (plus low-carb and exercise). Waking up at 3am, though. :P
*It's so important to get rid of our distractions while getting into deep work*
*I always make sure to put my phone on DO NOT DISTURB, works well by minimizing constant distractions*
There is nothing new being discussed here, just rephrasing of time tested vintage ideas. The core message is that you should declutture your schedule so that you can energetically focus on your core interests or ideas that have the most potential to shift the needle in a significant way.
This is also at the heart of the best selling books "The ONE Thing" and "Procrastinate On Purpose", etc.
As I venture more and more into ancient wisdom, it has become all the more clear that a monastic and a self-controlled life, though difficult to achieve in today's world, is a necessity if one desires not to remain ordinary in his field of activity.
The most important takeaway about this concept is to make it an habit. If we can't get it into our daily routine, it won't worth it. Great video 👏
The greatest RUclips channel for improvement, productivity, and career goals, yet so underrated. You deserve more subscriptions and views than other RUclipsrs' shitty motivational videos. Thank you for changing our lives and please, keep doing this
My pleasure
@@TheArtofImprovementreally helpful piece of advice!🎉❤hoping to hear more !!
You know you need this when the first time you listened to this you were multitasking.
Meanwhile, offices want you to answer emails, phones, chats and random manager questions at all times. If you start a deep work session you are suddenly ignoring all of your other responsibilities.
Those "responsibilities" need to be mastered and automated more quickly then.
@@TarzanHedgepeth To master them, you have to do them, which ultimately corresponds to so-called shallow work. Also, automation is not free/cheap. It either comes down to hiring more people or buying automation tools.
@@shreyagoregaonkar5657 Indeed. I wasn’t trying to side with the slave driver. I was simply addressing the reality of what needs to happen. Notice that I put “responsibilities” in quotes for a reason.
Any writer / directors here that are having a difficult time figuring out how to apply these skills to something more creative/ artistically focused?
Well I'm a musician so I'm struggling with this too!
*Paint or play violin undistracted for 4 hours a day.*
*There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth! :)*
Thanks for the validation. You've cleared what has been my biggest frustration - organizing deep work in today's world and seeming like a freak.
I would send a link to this video to my boss if I thought I could get away with it
The Super Power isn't Deep Work, but not to get burned out while doing so.
Thats a superpower in general. Shallow work can burn you out too... much faster than deep work, in my experience ;)
It is the skills that we have in life that allow us to achieve success or not.
again youi !
Possibly the basic concept here is to try to develop the skill to be an original thinker. Original ideas are extremely valuable. Hence all this thinking time - it's worth sitting down to try to come up with the next big thing!
I can't wait for part 2 and I think I will be adding this book to my 2019 reading list.
Press F to pay respect to anyone with ADD
When people are doing their soul mission/being who they really are/feeling theyre on the right path etc, ADD doesnt exist because you dont want to do anything else but your deep work/passion
Wow i found Alfred Pennyworths youtube channel! And his stuff is awesome!
you need to give your attention to yourself (mental, physical , spiritual well being) your loved ones, your god (whom or what soever you choose) , the plants and animals, the air, the water, and THEN, if you like , think about productivity. This is the day , now is the time we throw out the old commercial construct , as it does not serve us anymore. Be*HaYaH*iAm
Let me summarize: Focus.
Everything else in the video is a distraction.
Also "Work smarter, not harder" Bullshit. Do both.
Deep Work by Cal Newport + UltraLearning by Scott Young. No two books go together better.
Great work philosophy here but hard to do unless you are at the top of the chain. I can imagine only too well my Boss' reaction to another meeting request or email from her if i said i was "deep working" and will get to it later.
You can choose to report early to work or to stay in late for deep work, or go away from the office space for deep work sessions.
The Laws Of Human Nature - Robert Greene, is another.
I understand the definition of deepwork and all thanks to the video but some concrete exemples would have been nice
Very helpful information condensed in a great time! Not a bit of anyones time was wasted in any point of this video. I have subscribed and liked the video!
None of this factors in the needs of employers: and employers have their own weird psychological weaknesses.
Set a limited time for deep work, that s gold for me. I use to waste all my energies trying to accomplish specific creative goals I put for myself, but something was missing... Now I ve defined half an hour to work on a specific idea 💡
Having rituals and processes supposedly helps mitigate the need for will power? 🤔 ... I don't know about that one, y'all. I feel like it increases it. Feel free to give your perspective.
It seems that one should first decide what to focus on before getting intense. If your
"Deep work" benefits you more than someone else, than your chance of success is much higher. Don't get trapped into deep focus (work) as anyone's employee. You're first "deep work" should be independence, freedom of creativity, freedom from stress and financial burden.
Deep work sounds like gimmick. The skills or concepts mentioned in the book are not new at all. They are like how to study or how to be a good student. Wonder why the book gets popular. Maybe this is how the mass culture works.
@@thotslayer9914 LOL! That may be the reason!
@@thotslayer9914Honestly, your response already speaks for itself.
ogogo ogpgpg
Good for you man, I take it you’re swimming in money now? lmao
Why would people do deep work if shallow work pays better.
Dan, what is the musical tune at the end of your video? Thanks.
Very informative, thank you Very much :)
You're welcome
I feel like Quality Produced = (Time Spent) x (Intensity of Focus) / Intensity of distractions.
Jésus can change your life bro ♥️✝️
Yours is one of the best channels on RUclips right now....a million thanks for the amazing content....!
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words.
I am absolutely not interested in tech..I have tried to learn coding/data science..I can't give a fuck about it. Am I doomed??
Great video, thanks. Listening to music while trying to work is not deep work?
Wahhhh I have done these habits before because I desire to be a copywriter but I lost track because of “distractions” such as my job, stress, and yes men! Ugh. I was well-disciplined. I go to library once a week to study after work then on my days off, I self-study because I cannot afford to go to school. I should do it again. I didn’t know this “deep-work” thingy lol
Do you have any videos on how to avoid distractions long-term? I already deactivated most of my social media because it’s a huge distraction but I figured that it’s just one of the factors why. Mostly, it’s just my train of thoughts that are distracting me. 😅
Thanks for this video. I would definitely go back to my habits of cultivating deep work again. It’s for my future. 🙌🏻
Sometimes the best way to avoid distractions is to give in. It's similar to the concept that the more you try to avoid thinking about something the more likely you will think about it. If there's a particular train of thought that's recurring, take a little time to explore it, sketch it out in a notebook. Once it's scribbled out, you can either evaluate it right away to see if you can use it or set it aside. At least at this point you've run with it and have more capacity to concentrate deeply on other pursuits.
too bad society doesnt allow this unless you are your own boss. no manager i know can leave a person to themselves. i dont doubt that this works cuz logically it makes sense but society isnt logical.
I totally agree on doing meetings taking too much time from our sctual work
The narrator sounds like Michael Cain :)
Great video yet again! Your style is so clean and direct, it makes the content very easy to grasp. Thanks a lot!
People perform shallow work because our society has taught us the multi-tasking is important when it's really not. Multi-tasking makes you bad at everything instead of making you perform more quality work.
People need to learn to mono-task.
You missed another group of survivors; those who have practical skills and abilities and who aren’t dependent on the government for their survival. I do agree wholeheartedly that those whose time is spent in empty pursuits, especially on electronic devices, will not have the ability to survive. They will caterwaul and demand that others sustain them as if they are “entitled” to live off the efforts of others. Might be a great time to allow the “survival of the fittest.” Darlington, South Carolina
You are full of wisdom! How can I contact you?
Thank you for the video. Great content!
Unearth the deep- seated nuances and deep-rooted consequences between Deep work and Shallow work, there are vehemently and pictorially illustrated at videos.
Really Marvelous, Fantastic and Super indeed
I just want to note that AI can more easily imitate deep work than it can physical labor. Those in the Oil Industry legitimately supply the entire power grid and they aren't doing deep work, yet the lowest laborer in the US Oil Industry can make 100k a year starting.
"Hard things are complex and you need to give it all of your attention and focus"
Hmm. Sounds good...if you're aiming at a worthwhile target for the right reasons.
Just subscribed the channel. Good contents here...Thanks for that.
These videos are invaluable. Thanks for producing them.
i understand that most jobs are going to be tech in the future, but i'm not that passionate about it. i wanna do fitness and wellness instead. is that still possible?
Dear channel owner would you pls suggest a good book that leads me to be a focussed person?!!!
Such a great course, thank you ao much for sharing all those wonderful ideas!! 🙏
I love how this vid is short but packed!
I don’t know how to train myself to concentrate. I want to so bad but then my mind wonders and I doodle on my page
So be rich, be smart, or focus up and work hard.
Hyper-focusing for people with adhd
This is like living life through a spreadsheet! No thx!
