Hello, -

Welcome to a new week at the Writing Table! Your MAY Zoom link is below. In this post, I want to focus on "deep-thinking work" and how we get it done.

This weekend an article by Aysha Imtiaz, "How the Busiest People Get ‘Deep Work’ Done" came to my inbox from Pocket (a great article aggregator). I found when I read this one, it hits on many of the strategies that we talk about weekly or daily at the Writing Table. 

Here are a few examples:  

• set aside time for deep work (weekday mornings at the WT!) 
• minimize distractions
• separate thinking and doing times
• break down the deep work into smaller chunks or tasks
• manage your energy for taks which need different levels of focus and time

Scientist and entrepreneur Elizabeth Hunter says she wants to protect the time she has for doing her "deep-thinking work." How will you protect your time? What strategies will you adopt this week to get your deep work accomplished? 

I hope to see you in the morning at the Writing Table, !

Warmly,
Eileen
