WEBVTT 0 00:00.600 --> 00:12.300 Hey. Well-done on achieving yet another module. Today I kind of wanted to talk about the concept of deep 1 00:12.300 --> 00:13.260 work. 2 00:13.270 --> 00:21.100 There's a really good book called "Deep work" that I recommend everybody read actually. 3 00:21.150 --> 00:31.010 And it goes into like what consists of deep work and how do you get into a deep state of flow where 4 00:31.170 --> 00:33.570 you're able to produce your best work. 5 00:34.320 --> 00:40.740 Now I think this concept of deep work is also really applicable to learning. 6 00:40.830 --> 00:50.510 Like when you're in flow, when you're really using your brain, that state is so precious. 7 00:50.510 --> 00:58.160 And what I often see is that sometimes people think that you know just because you're sitting at your 8 00:58.160 --> 01:03.320 desk just because you're putting in the hours and you're staring at the screen then you're learning. 9 01:04.310 --> 01:12.420 You're probably not right? Like unless you are actively engaged, unless you are you know the brain is 10 01:12.420 --> 01:19.410 fresh and you're making those connections and things are like just making sense for you and you're able 11 01:19.410 --> 01:22.180 to understand what's going on 12 01:22.190 --> 01:23.280 you're able to apply it. 13 01:24.210 --> 01:31.790 If you're sitting there like hangover, sleep deprived, like just had pizza for lunch, 14 01:32.220 --> 01:39.990 even if you just sit there and like for many hours, it's not going to achieve the results that you want. 15 01:40.710 --> 01:49.100 So one of the things that I'm really disciplined about is work is work and play is play. 16 01:49.140 --> 01:57.600 So what I try to do is that when I'm sitting down to work, I am at 95% if not 100% focused 17 01:57.660 --> 01:58.990 on what it is I'm doing. 18 01:59.040 --> 02:06.980 I'm not really thinking about like like what am I going to eat later on or what shall I do for fun. 19 02:07.440 --> 02:13.530 And I'm just trying to put all my attention on this one thing. 20 02:13.530 --> 02:21.630 Now when I'm actually relaxing like when I have time off work, I try to not think about work at all. Like 21 02:21.870 --> 02:29.370 I won't think about, "I have this thing tomorrow which I have to do." Or like, "Oh like maybe I should just 22 02:29.760 --> 02:33.610 try doing a little bit of this work or that work." 23 02:33.660 --> 02:40.200 No. Like try to make sure that when you are sitting down to work, that's all you think about and when 24 02:40.200 --> 02:43.260 you're having a relaxation time just that's all you do. 25 02:44.230 --> 02:51.110 This way if you become more disciplined around this, you'll find that your brain actually gets into the 26 02:51.110 --> 02:57.530 rhythm when it sits down to actually doing work rather than just sort of pretending to work right? 27 02:58.940 --> 03:01.390 So have a go at that and see if that helps you.
