I found this audiobook very helpful because I'm really easily distracted with things. The tips I learned here will be good in helping me to stay focused so I can really finish all my to-dos. Sometimes, we feel that looking at our phones or whatever other types of distractions isn't really bad because they're just a few minutes but if you tally them all together, you've lost a big chunk of time when you could have been doing something productive.So this is a very nice guide for me to stay focused

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

Life can be hard sometimes but we all need motivation to go through some rough time to see the light end of the tunnel. I had some rough time, i lost my goals, i lost my focus on my work and after listening to this book it gave me the motivation that i needed. we all get distracted from our main goals by stupid stuff that happens to everyone then we lose yourself. the you need someone or something to motivate you and i think this book enough to give you the motivation that you are looking for and the focus you need and top of that this an audio book.
