What is #DeepWork40 Challenge?

The challenge is to practice Deep Work 40 minutes for 21days to work with your intellectual sharpness and an uninterrupted concentration.

While 40 minutes every day is a short duration, the difficulty level of this challenge is to maintain it. As a part of the challenge cohort, you will be guided to create your deep work schedule through productivity tips.

What is Deep Work?

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It is a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive, fast-changing economy.

Mails, messages, social media notifications, calls, meetings, agendas are all distractions to a continuous flow of attention. Cal Newport leaves a critical message in his book, Deep Work, “Overcoming your desire for distraction is what we need.”

Attention is not merely staying focused on the task at hand but is also how to process other information in the brain. Daniel Goleman, author, “Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence,” explores the power of attention. “Attention works much like a muscle,” he writes, “use it poorly and it can wither; work it well and it grows. Just like the muscles in our bodies, attention can become fatigued. Common symptoms of attention fatigue are lowered effectiveness, increased distractedness, and irritability. These symptoms also indicate depletion in the energy required to sustain neural functioning.” Read the article- Pay attention to your attention.

So practicing Deep Work has an impact not only on the work done during the practice, but it helps in efficient productivity, creative thinking, clear decision making leading to growth and success.
