8 Lessons I learned from DEEP WORK by- Cal Newport 
1- Deep work: Professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limits. These efforts create new value, improve your skills, and are hard to replicate.
2- Decades of research in both psychology and neuroscience that the state of mental strain that accompanies deep work is also necessary to improve your abilities.
3- Network tools are the reason we are losing our familiarity with deep work.
4-Network tools are distracting us from work that requires unbroken concentration, while simultaneously degrading our capacity to remain focused.
5- Spend enough time in a state of frenetic shallowness and you permanently reduce your capacity to perform deep work.
6- Google, for example, might reduce our memory, but we no longer need good memories, as in the moment we can now search for anything we need to know.
7- To succeed you have to produce the absolute best stuff you're capable of producing- a task that requires dept.
8-To master the art of deep work, you must take back control of your time and attention from the many diversion that attempts to steal them.
