12 Top Lessons From "Deep Work"
A Book by #CalNewport

📙Book Summary (THREAD)

 1. Deep Work

This is similar to the "flow" state that many psychologists references.

Newport defines deep work as, "the professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that pushes your cognitive capabilities to their limit".

Deep vs. Shallow:
2. Only Four Hours

Newport states that you can only do about four hours of deep work every day.

This isn’t a matter of concentration or practice; it’s a matter of human biology and psychology.

Think of your mind as a muscle. You can Stretch it to the theoretical 4 hour limit.
3. Deep Workers Win

Deep work consistently provides better results & a more excellent portfolio of work than traditional labor and strategies.

Emphasizing deep work and doing all you can to make this time as productive as possible will yield fantastic dividends in the long run
4. The Maker is Becoming More Important

Newport suggests that culture is shifting to celebrate the "maker" or the deep thinker.

This trend is most visible within pop-culture and content creation as people find their unique voices and reach wider audiences.
5. Uninterrupted Time is Necessary

In order to perform any time span of deep work, you must have a stretch of uninterrupted time.

It’s virtually impossible to engage your brain in deep work if you are constantly interrupted.
6. Practice Makes Perfect

Like with virtually all skills and habits, the more you engage in deep work, the easier it will be and the longer your sessions will last.
7. Focus on Progress, Not Outcome

Many people focus on the bottom line or end result of their effort. This can stifle the act of creation and ruin your motivation.

Instead, Newport advises focusing on the progress you make or the actual process of creation itself.
8. Four Strategies for Managing Willpower

Newport understands that managing your willpower is incredibly difficult, so he has four strategies you can use to open yourself to deep work:

1⃣Get rid of easy distractions
2⃣Bimodal Behavior
3⃣Rhythmic Behavior
4⃣Journalistic Behavior
9. Get Rid of Easy Distractions

The first is to give up your email and other easy distractions that tear your attention away from your task or objective, at least while you’re working.
10. Bimodal Behavior

This doesn’t necessarily refer to a sleep schedule. Instead, Newport recommends that you should schedule regular retreats or periods of intense concentration and isolation to create opportunities for deep work.
11. Rhythmic Behavior

Newport also suggests that you adopt a rhythmic lifestyle, at least in relation to your artistic endeavors.

Make sure that you follow a habit that is consistent, and which allows you to perfect your artistic techniques rhythmically.
12. Journalistic Behavior

Finally, don’t be afraid to utilize so-called “journalistic” behavior, which is best summarized as “jumping in whenever you can”.

Make peace with the fact that you may need to take advantage of any downtime you have and use it for deep work.
You can't improve if you don't know what you're doing wrong.

10 Top Lessons From the Book
"Chatter"

📚Book Review (THREAD)


1. Introspection is a double-edged sword

💭Introspection—the ability to observe one’s own mental processes— is a valuable tool for reflection and decision-making.

But rather than make people feel better, introspection often leads them to experience something else.

2. Chatter

đŸ—ŁïžChatter is the cycle of negative thoughts and feelings that turn our capacity for introspection into a vulnerability rather than a strength.

If you can master the art of introspection without the chatter, you can get your internal conversations back on track.

3. Talking to yourself can be helpful

👉Many people wonder how they can control their chatter. One way to do so is to talk to yourself using your name and the word “you,” as if you were advising someone else, a technique called “distant self-talk.”

4. Distant self-talk capitalizes on this idea

✍Silently talking to yourself like you’re someone else—using “you” and your own name—helps you take a step back from your experience and put your problems in perspective.

Lessons I Learned From the Book

"13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do"
âœđŸ» @AmyMorinLCSW

📚 Book Review (thread)


1.Mentally Strong People Don’t Worry About Pleasing Everyone

Pleasing everyone can negatively impact mental strength.

When you accept you won’t please everyone, you become stronger and build courage when you anticipate displeasing others.


2.They Don’t Feel the World Owes Them Anything

Mentally strong people can shift their focus away from their debt. Hence, they can help people in need. Mentally strong people keep themselves busy doing good deeds.


3.They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves

No one is immune to hard times. However, it is how you react to these situations that is important. They replace self-pity with gratitude.


4.They Don’t Resent Other People’s Success

Overcome your envy of other people’s success and learn how to use their success to your benefit.

When people enjoy and celebrate success, they attract other successful people, creating opportunities for collaboration success.

Here are some lessons I learned from reading this book:

Can't Hurt Me, by #DavidGoggins

Thread (1/10)


1. It doesn’t always go your way

Life won’t always go your way, so if you start thinking that it will, you’ll be disappointed and less effective

Instead of focusing on what you think you deserve, figure out what u want and be willing to pay the dues required to get it

2/10


2. The 40% rule

When your mind is telling you that you’re done, completely exhausted and not able to go any further, you’re only at about 40% of your potential

Keep fighting when you feel like you’re done, and that’s when you unlock the remaining 60% of your potential

3/10


3. No one is going to help you

Don’t wait for someone else to help you.

If it’s your dream, it’s on YOU. If you wait, you’ll be waiting until you’re on your deathbed if you don’t take action.

4/10


4. Callous your mind

When you’re ready to quit, stay the course. See how far you can go.

This will help you when things get tough. You’ll learn to work hard even when you don’t want to. That will pay off on your path.

10 Powerful Lessons of the book “The Art of Thinking Clearly”

| Thread đŸ§”


1. Never underestimate the hard work and lower probability of success, just because we are shown more successful people than many more actual failures.

It does not mean, in any way, that you should not dream big. It just says that dont get overawed by the number of success stories you read and assume that success would be easy. No one prints the failure stories.

2. Confirmation bias is the mother of all misconceptions.

It is a tendency to interpret new information so that it becomes compatible with our existing theories.

Warren Buffet has seen people losing money with this because they ignore facts which contradict the theory in the mind of the investor.

Dis-confirming evidence must be seeked out to beat this theory.

10 Fiction Books to transform your 20s.

➀ Siddhartha

”Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else.”

There’s a lot you can learn from the internet, but you’re not learning if you’re only consuming.

Create something. Learn by doing.

➀ The Alchemist

”When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

When you want something enough, it will always be on your mind.

Suddenly you'll see way more opportunities than you did before.

Figure out what you want and watch doors open.

➀ The Sorrows of Young Werther

”All the knowledge I posses everyone else can acquire, but my heart is exclusively my own.”

Learning a skill is the first step, but positioning is what makes the difference between competition and monopoly.

Find the niche that suits you most.

➀ Kafka on the Shore

”What you need to do is move from reason that observes to reason that acts.”

Watching others realise their dreams will make you informed at best and envious at worst.

Start your journey from consumer to creator (w/ @The1stReporter) and don't look back.

7 Powerful Lessons from the Book "Skin in the Game"

By Nassim Nicholas Taleb

| Thread


1. "You will never fully convince someone that they are wrong; only reality can.

To be precise, reality doesn’t care about winning arguments; survival is what matters."

2. "Focusing on just words put us at a dangerous path since we are much better at doing than understanding. Doers win by doing and not by convincing."

3. "Don’t take advice from people who don’t have skin in the game, i.e., be aware of the person who gives advice, telling you that a particular action is good for you and while it’s also good for him or her. While the harm directly affects you and not him."

4. "You don’t want to win an argument; you want to win whatever you’re after money, goals, convertible car."

The Courage To Be Disliked is an extremely logic oriented look at happiness and life.

Snippets of it may sound patronising at times but it leaves you with more questions than answers - It forces you to think!🙂

The world in itself is simple. Life in itself is simple.

It is WE who make it complicated.

How ?
By Comparison.

We all live in a subjective world that we OURSELVES have given meaning to from OUR perspective.

So how can then they be the same for all ? 🙂

Ever observed how the world seems beautiful at times , sometimes mean & selfish , at times helpful ?

So does the world actually keep changing or does our subjective world change due to the change in our projections ? đŸ€”

Something worth reflecting upon !

Not everyone who has faced trauma / calamity as a child grows up to become a bad person.

We determine our own lives as per the meaning we give those past experiences.

WE decide HOW we live - In constant conflict or at peace.

How have you decided to live your life? đŸ€”


5/28
What differentiates us humans from machines is primarily the fact that we possess Emotions.

Each emotion is merely a tool .
It can be used effectively or in a detrimental way.

But then again , what is effective and what is detrimental is all subjective ,ain't it ? 🙂

(MAJOR NOTE) The reason Manafort took over Trump's campaign in just 3 weeks despite being hired as a mere delegate counter is that ROGER STONE initiated a whisper campaign against Corey Lewandowski. That campaign started...days after Manafort returned from meeting with WikiLeaks.

2/ Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners; we'd expect Manafort to tell Stone what Assange told him, and for him to expect Stone to then pressure the campaign not only to hire him but quickly elevate him.

And who was Stone in touch with at the campaign? Trump himself.

3/ I bet you Manafort's late March emails are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime business associate Roger Stone. And I bet Roger Stone's late March phone calls are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime friend Donald Trump.

4/ At the end of March 2016, Trump suddenly convenes a NatSec meeting. At that meeting he directs his NatSec team to change the RNC platform in July to benefit Putin. Who later takes credit for that change?

Paul Manafort's business associate, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnick.

5/ Why did Donald Trump suddenly convene a NatSec meeting 3 days after he finally hired Manafort? Why did he issue a pro-Kremlin directive at that meeting that Manafort's camp would later take credit for? What did Manafort tell Trump in the days leading up to that NatSec meeting?

Thread A History lesson for the MOAB:
1. The United States of America is not and has never been a Democracy, we're a Federal Republic tied together by the capital Laws of the Constitution.

Everyone in the country is about to get a harsh lesson on what this really means...

2. In 1871, February 21: Congress Passes an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, also known as the Act of 1871.

With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress creates a separate form of
government for the District of Columbia.

3. A ten mile square parcel of land (see,
Acts of the Forty-first Congress,” Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and

4. The act — passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in
the aftermath of the Civil War — was a strategic move by foreign interests
(international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers and neck of America.

5. Congress cut a deal w/ the international bankers(Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation w/out serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their foot in the door of the United States.

So, today, for the first time in 25 (!) years of Apple, I downgraded. From the 2016 MacBook Pro to my 2013, which I had kept in a drawer...


It was pretty simple to do—Apple Time Machine backups let me do it with one click.

That first tweet captures, in two pictures, how badly Apple has “lost the plot” (to quote @wylieprof). On the right is the Apple MagSafe adapter, from 2013. On the left, what I had “upgraded” to.

Thanks, Apple! I really was nostalgic for worrying about yanking my computer off the table.

Oh and I really appreciated not knowing if my computer was charging. What was great was the little whoop sound you used, so that the speaker before me could be informed I was charging my laptop.
