• The four rules of deep work:

• RULE 1: Work Deeply (install routines, rituals, and habits)

• RULE 2: Embrace boredom (use these moments to breathe deeply and think)

• RULE 3: Quit social media

• RULE 4: Drain the shallows (be mindful of how you spend every hour of your day)

• Rest is important. When you work, work hard. When you're done, be done.
