Humans CANNOT multitask
- We can never get high-quality work done while juggling between IMs, EMail, and FB

Cal Newport uses a technique in DEEP WORK book, which I highly recommend
The Rhythmic Philosophy of Deep Work
- Use 3-4 hours of the time slot to get deep work done
- That is all that we need
- I use @noisli to listen to white noise
- Use headphone preferably

I use time later in the day for SHALLOW WORK.
This helps to unwind and also get a proper balance between deep work and other life goals.
