About this timer
Cal Newport's concept of "deep work" centers on long, uninterrupted sessions of focused effort on cognitively demanding tasks. Two hours is widely considered the sweet spot — long enough to make significant progress, short enough to sustain.
Tips
- Block off the time on your calendar in advance.
- Put your phone in another room.
- Decide what "done" looks like before you start.
