It&#39;s systematically going through your space and activating protective measures to keep from being disrupted during deep work.  Deep work is about being so focused on what you are doing that you fall into a flow state and are unaware of the passage of time.  It doesn&#39;t always happen, but it is the goal and ideal.  Removing distractions is actively preventing your monkey mind from taking you out of your flow state<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruben Z.
