Boredom by for example using a smartphone degrades the ability to concentrate and increases the tendency to become distracted. The author encourages us not to force ourselves to find something to do in times of need. The author presents an approach that involves detoxing yourself from distractions . I recently had the opportunity to take a computer and smartphone detox day. On that day I didn't check my email I didn't write a single line of code and I didn't check social media. I try to set such days for myself regularly. In my case I also expanded the detox Phone Number List from distractions to include productive things but in my case this variant works better. This made work on subsequent days much more productive. Similarly regular detoxes from social media mean that my temptation to visit there is now close to zero. The author also suggests an alternative approach which involves planning periods in which we allow ourselves to be distracted. While at work you can designate specific moments during the day when you check your e mail instant messenger and perform other activities that are not conducive to deep work. An interesting method that Newport presents is Theodore Roosevelt's method of work. It involved setting a goal and estimating the time required to complete the task. Then you should set a specific deadline that will drastically shorten this time.
