I don't think it's possible to achieve Deep Work reliably unless you have full control over your work environment and schedule and can shut off distractions without getting reprimanded or suffering from FOMO. This is a non-negotiable term for me when I interview. Another thing I noticed about myself: I have "moods". Sometimes I feel like dicking around (like right now!), and in those situations I don't even try to get into Deep Work because it takes a lot of energy to do so. But a few hours later my mood will shift, and when that happens I need to be able to catch that window of opportunity and get myself in the zone quickly. From there, it's off to the races. I've found that most work arrangements can't accommodate this type of arbitrary work habit. Which is why I'm currently employed at a very small firm where everyone is remote, and I have a super awesome manager who trusts everyone fully. |
