This Book Made Me Dangerously Productive

I feel like so many of us are experiencing this right now. You've been working since you got up at 7:00 a.m. Emails checking on your phone the minute you wake up and a school run in between if you got kids. And it's back-to-back work calls, messages pinging on Microsoft Teams, a client thing that ran

And that makes you think, "Why do I work so hard, yet I feel that I can't get anything done? Why

does it feel like I never have enough time?" I've been there. I'm an average person like everyone else. I'm not someone with a 4:00 a.m. morning routine jumping to an ice bath and then telling you to do more. I have a daughter who is a love of my life. My husband and I, we

So, my life is full of ups and downs, just like yours probably is. And I watched every year go by feeling like I was behind on everything that actually mattered to me.

So, I wanted answers. Not being busy for busy's sake, but how to actually do work that matters to me and living my life well. And here is the one book that changed how I think about all of this, Deep Work by Cal Newport. So, in this video, I want to show you what you need

to know from Cal's research on how to do deep work well and why your brain makes focus so hard and how to change that. And the solution's actually much simpler than you think. And I'll also give you a four-step system called the Deep Work Blueprint that you can start using this week based on my own experience. But
