I’d liked more examples of deep work because I don’t quite know how to differentiate yet (I’ll check out your article to see if I got more understanding)
I know coding and designing and systemising is deep work, but as a solopreneur that has to be do everything I’m not sure if working on my CRM or content creation would be shallow or deep(Edited)
thanks so
Deep work is not about the task itself,
Deep work is more about a pattern of working that is extremely focussed and proofed against distraction.
The tasks that go into the deep work block are your choice.
It should be your most important work that grows the business.
Shallow work is the opposite:
stuff that drains you, that maintains the business.
Here’s a few resources which might help you with that:
