Book Notes: Deep Work

February 2, 2026

I revisited Deep Work with one question: what is still useful in a notification-heavy environment?

What I kept

  • Calendar-blocked focus windows.
  • Task batching for communication.
  • Short shutdown ritual at the end of the day.

What I changed

I use shorter deep-work blocks (60-90 minutes) and stack them around energy peaks.
