Deep Work by Cal Newport

Every time I reach for my phone and mindlessly scroll through YouTube or Facebook reels, I am aware that I am dulling my brain and potentially causing harm through this form of entertainment. Nevertheless, I find myself unable to break this habit. I might resist for a week, but I invariably return to it, likely because it’s such a convenient and effortless activity.

In listening to Cal Newport’s “Deep Work,” he delves into these issues and offers recommendations for addressing them if one chooses to do so. I appreciate the techniques and suggestions in the book, but whether they will be as effective for me as they were for Cal and others remains uncertain. I do hope it works.

The book also touches upon the practices of mental athletes, which has piqued my interest. I think this will be the next subject I want to read about.
