How to Easily Get into the Groove of Deep Work
“Focus Sprints” will change the way you “do” focus.
I like to use a method called “Focus Sprints” to get into the groove of Deep Work.
The concept is simple: work distraction-free for 90 minutes straight, followed by a 20-minute break.
Rinse and repeat.
Focus Sprints, step by step:
Set a realistic 90-minute goal
Break down the time into bite-sized tasks
Turn off and get away from all distractions. Close your email. Turn off notifications. Close your door. Shut out the noise
Set a timer for 90 minutes and go
Once the sprint is complete, rest (undistracted) for 20 minutes
Repeat as many times as possible
In my perfect life would there be no distractions.
