Deep work

I’m reading a book which is quite interesting about the concept of ‘deep work’. It hypothesises that the true change-makers and thinkers have to cut out the noise associated with most of our working lives, by actively cutting off notifications and social media. And I don’t just mean silencing an alert, I mean cut out the platforms and habits from our lives.

I am desperately trying to wrap up two big pieces of work before my leave begins towards the end of June, but I don’t find my work pattern or brain to be compatible with this at all. I need to channel some deep work vibes.

Today marked the end of three days of reflection and presentations about our work and the reception has been positive. Tomorrow’s agenda is thankfully less intense.

In the evening the traffic from Mbezi Beach to Mikocheni was diabolical. I eventually crawled to my front door and revelled in the peace and quiet.
