(2020-04-20) Newport Cultivating A Deep Life

Cal Newport: Cultivating a Deep Life. I’ve been thinking about ways to evolve towards a deeper life.

My recommendation is to think in increments of roughly one month (Thinking In Bets). For a given 30-day period, attempt a limited number of changes to the four components of the deep life (craft, community, constitution, and contemplation).

To be more concrete, consider focusing on two things for each component of your life that you’re trying to improve:

• A high-impact habit that will significantly amplify the value you’re deriving from this component.
• A commitment for reducing sources of distraction or unnecessary effort diverting your attention within this component.
