Prepare for Deep Work the way you’d prepare to go into the theater.
You need to prepare to do work the same way you’d prepare to watch a movie. Prepare to immerse yourself and sit For a couple hours.
Do things like…
- Pee.
- Stretch.
- Get a drink.
- Turn your phone off & Tailor Your Environment
- Write down what you’re about to accomplish (Know Your Immediate Task)
- Close everything else (Organize Focuses by Desktop)
- Start a timer if you like (Pomodoro Technique 🍅)
Do a pre-work prep ritual so you can actually do the work.
