The Deep Work Hypothesis

The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is

becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, the few who

cultivate this skill, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive.

What is “Deep Work”?

• Description: Deep work vs. shallow work

• Why Deep Work is so important now

• The new law of productivity:

• (Time Spent) x (Intensity of Focus) = High-Quality Work Produced

• Getting into the “flow state”

Page 40: For More KAPOW! Work with More Kapow... · Setting up Routines and Rituals • May be helpful to think of it as a mental workout: Daily straining of your mental muscle/focusing hours.

Why is Deep Work important to Volunteer Management?

• We are a field that makes connections and therefore thrives on communication – which can be antithetical to deep work

• It is crucial that we are adaptive and “big picture oriented”

• My experiments and accomplishments

Page 41: For More KAPOW! Work with More Kapow... · Setting up Routines and Rituals • May be helpful to think of it as a mental workout: Daily straining of your mental muscle/focusing hours.

The Four Approaches to Deep Work

• Monastic approach – Retreat to quiet environment for a long stretch of time to eliminate or radically reduce shallow obligations (Secluding yourself is best option when you’re in a distracting/hostile environment)

• Rhythmic approach -- Increase the frequency of deep efforts by scheduling them regularly in the calendar

• Journalist approach -- Whenever you find leisure time during the week, switch to deep work mode (“when the inspiration strikes”)

• Grand gesture approach -- Radically change your environment (and make an investment of money or effort) to increase the perceived importance of the task (ie locking yourself in a cabin until the project is finished)

Setting up Routines and Rituals

• May be helpful to think of it as a mental workout: Daily

straining of your mental muscle/focusing hours.

• Focusing ability must be trained regularly and consistently.

Feeling bored + craving distraction is an opportunity.

• Important to define clearly: Where you’ll work deeply, what

you’ll be working on & the rules (for example: closed

windows, no phone, darkened, no blogs/Facebook/Twitter)

• Where and when will you do Deep Work? What do you need for it? ●write down designated spaces and triggers

Page 43: For More KAPOW! Work with More Kapow... · Setting up Routines and Rituals • May be helpful to think of it as a mental workout: Daily straining of your mental muscle/focusing hours.

Setting Up Routines and Rituals

● A forced daily shutdown is important because of:

○Parkinsons law: when you have a limited amount of time, it

forces you to work faster & implement tactics/habits to

increase per hour output

■It may even be useful sometimes to create artificial time

limits, for example, writing something in half the time it

would normally take you

○Zeigarich effect: Letting unfinished tasks take up mental

resources after the work day has been completed. Solution:

Make a schedule for any uncompleted tasks in the coming

days

● Write down forced end time with a shutdown routine

Page 44: For More KAPOW! Work with More Kapow... · Setting up Routines and Rituals • May be helpful to think of it as a mental workout: Daily straining of your mental muscle/focusing hours.

Productive Meditation

• What it is: Occupy yourself physically & focus your attention on

one single well-defined professional problem

• Avoid:

• Distraction from the problem at hand

• Looping over what you already know about the problem

(brains will naturally do this to save energy)

Page 45: For More KAPOW! Work with More Kapow... · Setting up Routines and Rituals • May be helpful to think of it as a mental workout: Daily straining of your mental muscle/focusing hours.

Productive Meditation

• Could also be structured thinking. Do this by asking relevant

questions.

• For an example volunteer management project:

• i. Find the relevant outline: What is needed for this project?

• ii. Next step questions: How can I complete those next steps &

what do they need to look like?

• iii. Consolidate & affirm your answer: I will reach key objective

x by strategies x, y & z which have tactics x, y & z. which will be

tracked by indicators x, y & z.

Quitting Social Media

• I know it’s challenging!!

• Practice boredom = concentration training. When the brain

becomes accustomed to on-demand distractions (phone,

social media, …) it reduces its ability to manage working

memory, ability to filter out relevant information, ability to

focus on a specific task without distraction and otherwise the

engagement of larger parts of the brain (mental resource

depletion) than is necessary. Constant switching between

tasks teaches brain to never tolerate absence of novelty.

Page 47: For More KAPOW! Work with More Kapow... · Setting up Routines and Rituals • May be helpful to think of it as a mental workout: Daily straining of your mental muscle/focusing hours.

Quitting Social Media

• Make a plan for practicing disconnectedness. Plan periods

on a daily/weekly basis where you have no access to the

internet/phone. Schedule in daily when you’ll use it. If you

find early in your offline-time that you need “crucial” internet

access:

●i. Switch to a different scheduled offline task

●ii. Schedule your online tasks sooner BUT wait an extra 5

minutes (conditioning)

Draining the Shallows

● Write out draft schedules

The Potential in Being Less Busy

”The deep life, of course, is not for everybody. It requires hard work and drastic changes to your habits.

For many, there’s a comfort in the artificial busyness of rapid e-mail messaging and social media posturing.

While the deep life demands that you leave much of that behind. There’s also an uneasiness

that surrounds any effort to produce the best things you’re capable of producing, as this forces you to confront the possibility that

your best is not (yet) that good.”
