Thanks, I read and got a lot out of Deep Work even though it was not really written for my field (or gender) I appreciated that book and the reminder that in order to get into the flow you cannot be interrupted. I used the advice that came from research he cited and stopped checking my email while in the middle of a “deep work” endeavor. It also opened my eyes to the disruption inherent in traditional female jobs (though he never covered this topic in the book, I wish he had), how those (often mindless) jobs prevent any deep work from happening (breakthroughs in research, art, literature etc.) My take is that this is by design, either way this is something we should discuss more. I like the term mental labor for a related concept of this. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation I’ll check out the new book!
