It takes me a minute to really get focused, but I do well for longer periods of time in bursts. I can go for over an hour maybe even two if I’m not distracted.
I’d like it to be enough time until I understand it well, and I feel like I’ve studied the subject well and able to explain it to the professor, at least 10 hours like this!
It depends on how much I feel like working. If I’m on the flow, I do 45 minutes or an hour of deep work. If it is not the day then I work for 25 minute intervals alternating them with 5 minutes breaks.
The deep work is depend on your mood. Like if you are lazy you will took a long time. But if you are in good mood than it will take as much as the time could take.
I would prefer to work and be productive as much as you can but if you can’t concentrate then just try do 10-20 minutes then break 10-30 minutes then break again and keep doing that but if I were you I’ll start a ritual for trying to focus to the task in hand.
Deep work should be as long as you feel comfortable. If you start to feel overwhelmed and tired then make sure to give yourself plenty of breaks. Treat yourself to a bag of sweets of a cup of tea. Make it enjoyable - not stressful.
Well to actually get some deep work in on whatever project or even Self-Care activity your working on you need at least 30mins. More is even better, up to an hour is perfect. Just cut out all distraction an turn that phone on Silent and just Focus in. Start at 30mins and as you gain focus over time increas closer to the 1hr mark. Good luck
I use thar time frame to Finish projects or work on things that I need to have focus or concentration. My timeframe usually run from 30 minutes to 4 hours. I take a five minute break after 25 minutes or I take a 15 minute break after an hour.
Minimum of 2 hours, preferable 3-4hours. Enough to get in the zone and then stay there for a good amount of time to make significant progress
Deeper work really should be treated with respect in regards to how much you give of yourself. If you can only do the work with grace for 5 minutes, start there. Transformation lies in the spaces between, and that requires consistency. Build up to 15-20 minutes daily and see where you need to go from there. Your journey is your own, and only you will know how long you need to spend to give it the honor it’s due.
