Deep Work Summary Week 3

Cal goes on to mention that the ability to do deep work needs to be fostered over a long period of time. If a person with less experience with deep work, they won't be working as deeply as someone who has been doing deep work for many years. Deep work is seen as a skill that must be worked on by yourself. You can't expect to be able to work deeply for hours from beginning to end. As you keep practicing, you'll be able to work deeply which then results in the production of great amounts of work. The two core skills that are needed for the ability to deep work is to concentrate intensely and the ability to overcome the desire for distraction. Both of these skills improve the skill of deep work.
