My Deep Work Initiation checklist
After reading Deep Work, by Cal Newport, I have really made it an objective to have more productive sessions of deep work. I have created a little checklist to help me initiate a deep work session.
- Bathroom (I drink a lot of coffee and water)
- Fresh glass of water
- Start Focus app 1 hour (I use https://heyfocus.com/)
- Close all browser tabs, unnecessary apps
- Spotify: Deep Focus playlist
- Stretch/check posture
- Deep Breath
I felt silly the first few times I did it, but now I do it systematically when preparing to code or write and it has really helped. I have a Trello that I use for planning my workdays and I add a copy of this checklist in front of every "deep work" task.
Do any of you use rituals like this to help get into a session of deep work?
