Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between deep work and flow state?

Deep work is an intentional practice you schedule; flow is a spontaneous state of effortless focus. Time-boxing deep work sessions makes flow more likely to occur.

How do I protect deep work time from interruptions?

Block the time on a shared calendar, silence notifications, and communicate your unavailability to colleagues before the session begins.

How many deep work hours per day is realistic?

Most people can sustain two to four hours of genuine deep work per day. Beyond that, quality tends to drop even if quantity appears to continue.
