1. Why Deep Work is Important
In a world full of distractions, focused work is a superpower.
Deep Work means: undisturbed periods of intense concentration on a demanding task.
Those who integrate Deep Work into their daily routine increase productivity, quality, and creativity – while experiencing less stress at the same time.
2. Basics & Explanation
- Definition: Deep Work = focused work without distraction, often 60–120 minutes.
- Distinction:
- Deep Work: Strategic, creative, or complex tasks.
- Shallow Work: Routine tasks (emails, meetings, small to-dos).
- Bestforming Logic: Deep Work is the key to real impact and progress – small units with maximum depth.
3. Challenges & Risks
- Distractions: Phone, social media, emails.
- Lack of time: Difficulty keeping undisturbed time slots free.
- Energy: Often easier at the beginning of a workday than at the end.
- Multitasking: Prevents deep concentration.
4. Tips & First Steps
