Description

Everybody wants to get more done, but we go about it the wrong way.

We think getting more done requires more time. We will put in

80 hours

of work a week, getting an abysmal return on investment for the last

20 – 30 hours

. We can’t elbow grease our way through problems by throwing time at them.

We don’t need more time to work. We need to change how we work.

This class, based on Dr. Cal Newport’s

Deep Work

principles, provides the concepts to do just that.

Deep Work

is all about cutting out the superfluous, unnecessary tasks in our professional and personal life. It will help you focus on the things you do that provide the most value – to the market, and to your own life.
