In an era where artificial intelligence and machines are replacing humans in many tasks, three types of people continue to remain distinct and successful, even benefiting more as technology advances: First, people with very high skills, whose expertise is enhanced by technological progress, riding the wave of change. Second, people who are stars in their field those who are excellent at what they do and focus all their energy on becoming top tier in their skill. And third, business owners who smartly invest in technology and the changes happening in their business environment.
Entering the league of the third category comes with its own challenges, and that’s not the focus of this article. However, what can we do to belong to the first or second categories?
Deep work is a path to entering the first and second leagues
Deep work means finding a goal that is truly important to you and focusing only on it, leaving aside anything that doesn’t bring you closer to that goal. You need to make deep work a routine so you can eliminate or reduce all the shallow, daily tasks that don’t help you achieve your goal. Remember, a large part of social networks are designed to make us addicted to them, which distracts us from deep work. When you go online, make sure you have a clear reason for doing so.
Cal Newport’s book Deep Work teaches you how to increase the amount of deep work you do. Here’s the link to buy it from Fidibo.
