I create a \u201cwork zone\u201d with wind chime music, wearing my kitty cat ears (because I can feel them in my head), then I just go.  At the end of 25 minutes I stand up and take a break.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicole C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For my deep work time I have been using it to finish a work project that I got stuck on a couple years ago. Today, at the end of the deep work time, I had finished a draft and sent it off for review. Tomorrow will be hardcore data entry into my work inventory database \ud83d\udc4d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daniel J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Knock out the most important &#x2F; most unpleasant task you have for the day. Or I use it for things requiring a lot of mental focus like writing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kiara U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use it either to study the Bible or to study for the MCAT. Those are two of the hardest topics I personally feel are akin to a mountain for me. It\u2019s intimidating but once you are in the flow state you really begin to understand things and grow.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dirk P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am a teacher. So at the moment I have been busy setting up a programme of weekly school work to send to my parents to give to the learners. Also setting up worksheets, videos and powerpoints that they can use as well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sheila E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I spend that time doing homework assignments for school. I have learned about assessment and plans for type 2 diabetes, headaches, GI bleed, and cholelithiasis.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Colin O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually use it for school! I value that time to keep me accountable \ud83d\ude42 It is a good chance for me to stay off my phone and the music reminds me what I\u2019m doing so that I stay on task \u263a\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">And Elika X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First of all I\u2019m listening to music which helps me to focus. My favorite is music without words, classic music, ambient and something which is called white noise. Also I set timer for work: 25 minute for intense focusing and then 5 minutes break. It works for me and I hope it will work also for you guys. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christa N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I schedule 1-3 \u2018must accomplish today\u2019 tasks and schedule them into my \u2018deep work\u2019 time slot on my calendar. Then I go off line, block other distractions, grab water and coffee as I am mentally preparing for it. I close the door and don\u2019t come out until it\u2019s done or, the time I allowed for it is up.<br \/>\nSometimes I don\u2019t get it done when I plan to. And that\u2019s ok. I than do it after everything else is done. This causes late nights and forces me to do better the next day. At least I am aware. I am work in progress.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sabrina E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I keep reading to see if anything changes and if it get two chapters through and nothing interesting has happened I\u2019ll put it up. Always read the blurb so you know if you wanna read it first<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Grace Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use my deep work time for what I feel is most important that day! I\u2019m a college student so oftentimes I spend it working on assignments. But if I\u2019m not sure what is most important yet or want to work on things outside of school then I\u2019ll come up with a list of goals or activities that I want to do, like making a better morning routine, painting something, journaling, doing something creative, cleaning, doing something that makes me happy, practicing a new hobby, etc. (just a few ideas of what I do)  After I\u2019ve made my list of goals I will pick one of them and really focus on just that during my deep work time. I love to create idea lists like this every so often so that the next time I feel stuck with what to do for my deep work I can just look at the list and choose one! I hope this was helpful \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isobel N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019m a student, so I use the time to organise my notes and my study plans. I also use it for short, intense tasks, that I would otherwise spend a lot more time on with half the concentration<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elsie P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am a student so i obviously do homework. I have amazing focus, so I tend to have Deep Work all day. For my 30 min of deep work, I use the Forest app to block distractions and so I can grow my tree. I pick 1 subject instead of jumping around.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>P Q. I sit down and work on a project. I plan the project the night before.
