What is Deep and Shallow Work?
Deep Work: The ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks. Deep work drives innovation, problem-solving, and high-value outcomes.
Shallow Work: Low-effort, often repetitive tasks such as emails, admin, or status updates. While necessary, too much shallow work kills productivity.
