درباره این اپیزود
hours of real focus that beat a distracted 10-hour day. Deep Work, by Cal Newport (2016), reframed: your attention is the last scarce skill, and you give it away for free. Four rules, each with its own schedule: work deeply (with 4 schedules to actually keep — monastic, bimodal, rhythmic, journalistic), embrace boredom instead of always escaping it, quit the any-benefit thinking behind your apps, and drain the shallow work eating your calendar. Real examples: Carl Jung's stone tower, Donald Knuth's decades without email, Adam Grant's batched semesters, J.K. Rowling's hotel-room grand gesture. Plus where the book's own advice doesn't fit everyone, and three things to do this week.
