Getting Into Deep Work: Tips, Tricks, and Habits

In this epidose, the Fika Crew talk about when, where, and how they get into deep work -> cognitively demanding work that requires undistracted time with our full attention.  The world seems to find more and more ways to intrude and disrupt, so we all need to be more intentional about creating the conditions for deep work to occur. Whether it's writing papers, finding creative solutions to vexing problems, or designing new ways to teach content, engaging in cognitively demanding work without distraction is critical to professional success and satisfaction.
