Episode description

If you are the type of person who has a long to-do list at any given time, but never feels like you've accomplished anything of worth....then this episode is for you!


Deep Work by Cal Newport is the book discussed by Scott and Sophia on today's episode. They dive in to the concept of dividing up tasks into 2 categories: Deep Work and Shallow Work. If it's something that requires your full attention, with little to no distractions like a podcast or someone interrupting you, then it's Deep Work. If you can do the task while listening to something, having a conversation with a friend, or stopping and restarting with no issues, then it's Shallow Work.

How to differentiate the 2; how to utilize Deep Work to help with things like homework, goals, and a job; and how to end the day feeling as though you accomplished things of worth are all shared in this episode. Give it a listen if you struggle in these areas!
