BOOK SUMMARY: DEEP WORK

-

Deep work book is written by Cal Newport. The book has made me approach work and exciting life with so many new thoughts. It also clarifies the true effects of time wasters on our minds. It also motivates us to consider what we would be capable of what we do with our time and for this our attention is extremely important.

Focus is much more rigorous than we perceive. If we do not develop the most demanding of all disciplines, self discipline we will flounder and wonder why.

Cal Newport’s writings are drawn away by mental prompts to check email, text a friend or get a bite to eat. Most of the CEOs are tempted mentally to check the lunch room while attempting deep work, no one is exempt.

We can develop superior self discipline while we can increase our focus. We should start small. We should try to focus tightly for 3 to 5 minutes.

We should increase our stamina to master 3 to 5 minute range. One become conditioned to sit and to do deep work for up to an hour at a time.

The author told there are so many people who sit and write for 4 hours and think nothing of it. The people have the stamina for it. They are conditioned for the task. They were not born with this ability. They are developed and cultivated the unique ability overtime.

So, start now and start small. Anyone can do it. It is more a question do you want to do it? Are you motivated to start and commit to a goal of 20 minutes of highly focused, uninterrupted deep work?

“Deep work is a skill.” Cal says. To master this skill we need immense practice and effort. The ultimate outcome of this skill is focus. Deep work requires the ability to focus on a single task for an extended period of time, which can be challenging for some people. If one find that one has difficulty sustaining one’s focus for more than few minutes, deep work may not be the best productivity strategy for one.

One thrive on collaboration and social interaction, deep work is often a solitary activity which can be challenging for people who thrive on collaboration and social interaction if one find that one is more productive when one is able to bounce ideas of others or work in a team environment, deep work may not be the best productivity strategy for one.

The effectiveness of deep work will depend on our individual preferences and working style. If we find that deep work is not beneficial for us. There are many other productivity strategies and techniques that we can try to help stay focused and productive.

The power of your subconscious mind book is written by Joseph Murphy . It is a self-help type book . In the book we read about the power of our subconscious mind. Our mind is the only leader of our thinking. It defines our success or failure. It decides our capabilities to do the things possible or impossible. We read in the book… People all around may discourage us but we should try and try until the task is done. We can do everything what we can think, if we prepare our subconscious mind. Our thoughts decide our life and actions to try to be positive most of the time. We have healing power in our subconscious mind. Every disease first develops in our mind then reaches to our body. We should govern our task according to our thinking. In any situation of our life we should think that we are happy, harmonious, strong, loving and careful etc. Negative thoughts like stress , anxiety, fear, tension etc. destroy our thinking and result in serious diseases. Peace of Mind is the greatest...

We all know today is 15th August Independence Day. It is a very great day for us as a citizen of India. Today everyone is sharing photos and updating status on all the social media sites, like the whole country is coloured with tricolour. We all celebrate this day every year with full zeal and in patriotic way. We all have a cordial nature for our soldiers. We will always remember the sacrifice of soldiers in Jammu Kashmir operation (1948), China war (1962), Pakistan war (1965), Bangladesh war (1971), IPKF operation Pawan in Sri Lanka (1987), Kargil conflict (1999), and many more operations that gave befitting response to those who tried to dismantle the sovereignty of India. It feels very good to see everyone is patriotic and showing love towards the country but this feeling should be long lasting not only on Independence Day or in Republic day. In these two days we proudly hoist flag everywhere but after one or two days we saw many tore flags on the road, in garbage like a waste pap...

Unblocking The Most Beautiful Heart

It was 25 th  2010 July, first day of my engineering college. I was very sincere, so I was there to attend the class there were three boys and two girls, others were absent because it was first day and some people take the first day lightly. It was Reena ma’am‘s class but before teaching there was an introduction session. Though I was not good at English but I managed to introduce myself and told her about myself. After sometime it was turn of a girl. Her name was Jasmine, she was very busy in reading some books I thought she did not mind what’s going on. Ma’am said, “Jasmine… tell me about yourself.” She hastily stood up; she was very chubby, cute girl with pink cheeks. She introduced herself; i was very closely observing her and her beauty. Some of her hair locks were disturbing her vision by playing with her spectacles. For me it was like love at first sight. Her pink lips were like petals of rose. Her eyes were big like it was hiding a deep mysterious ocean in which i could ...
