Six pages in, I powered down my laptop. Twenty pages in, I left the house to buy an alarm clock so that I wouldn't have an excuse to sleep next to my phone."--Molly Young, The New York Times "One of the few books I would call life-changing." --Tim Maurer, Forbes "I've read lots of books about productivity and lots of books about distraction. For me, Deep Work is among the best, on both counts." --Joshua Rothman, The New Yorker "[Deep Work] has changed how I live my life.
