The Value of Deep Work in the Age of Distraction
January 12, 2016 * Last updated September 28, 2021
Setting yourself apart in your career
Doing deep work to get promoted
Deep work becoming more rare and thus more valuable
Crossfit for your mind
3 commitments for living a deep life
Note:
Deep work is more difficult for women, of course. Men frequently interrupt women when they are talking, so it follows that men would interrupt women’s deep work. It’s called ‘manterrupting.’
I once devised a strategy for ending interruptions from the dozens of women and men in my office. Both male managers respected my strategy.
In 2000, I was payroll supervisor for a regional office of the U.S. Census Bureau. One day a week, I had to complete all of my weekly tasks and submit the payroll to Washington D.C. It was difficult to complete those tasks with people interrupting my focus to ask questions or start discussions that had nothing to do with payroll. I came up with a visual solution.
I own a collection of vintage hats. I brought a hat to payroll day and announced that while I was wearing the hat, I was off limits for questions or discussions. It worked wonderfully well. No one approached me while I was wearing my hats for the rest of that decennial census.
I was more effective completing my weekly tasks. I was more effective with the questions and discussions after sending off payroll. Plus, I enjoyed wearing my hats and people enjoyed seeing the variety of hats.
Better interactions with coworkers improves life for you men, as well.
