【管理辞典】深度工作 / Deep Work

「释义」

所谓深度工作，就是注意力高度集中，认知能力达到极限的工作状态。它是一种可以给我们带来更高价值产出的工作方法。

「应用场景」

乔治城大学教授卡尔·纽波特将“深度工作”定义为“有能力聚焦，不会分心到认知要求很高的任务上”。他指出这么做的好处在于“让你能够快速掌握复杂的资讯，并在更短的时间内产生更好的结果。”

In contrast, Georgetown professor Cal Newport defines “deep work” as “the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task.” He says that the benefit is that “it allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time.”

我认为深度工作需要“脑力动能”。你需要花时间才能开始去做、集中注意力，并充分动员资源来处理最重要、最有意义的工作。我所谓的“资源”，指的不仅是知识、智慧和经验，也指同理心、热情、仁慈、勤奋，以及我们赋予日常生活的所有其他特质，好让体验变得独特、更加丰富，并产生更大的影响。我用一个词语来说明如何建立这种动能，以处理某项任务、经验或关系，那就是：“发挥才华”。

I think about deep work as needing “brainpower momentum.” It takes time to get started, get focused, and fully mobilize our resources in the service of our most important, most meaningful work. By “resources,” I mean not only our knowledge, wisdom, and experience, but also our empathy, passion, kindness, diligence and all of the other qualities we bring to our day-to-day lives to make them unique, richer and have more impact. The phrase I use to describe building this momentum in the service of a task, experience, or connection is “unleashing our genius.”
