Oh man,
0:02
it's already noon. I
0:04
gotta get going on my story. Hello,
0:07
blank page, All right,
0:09
I can do this. Here we go
0:12
typing a sentence. This
0:18
is hard. I
0:21
wonder what's happening on Twitter. I'll
0:23
just click over for a quick minute breaking
0:28
news. Everything is horrible. No, your
0:30
horror. This is a distraction. Distraction
0:33
gate stop.
0:41
Here's a photo of a panda. Oh
0:43
god, it's three thirty. Why do I
0:45
ever read Twitter? I feel like garbage. I really
0:47
need to get to work. Okay,
0:51
writing some words, this
0:54
isn't so bad. Oh
0:57
a chat message? I want a gossip.
1:00
You know you want to gossip. I
1:02
don't know. I heard the salacious
1:04
thing about this person we talk about all the time.
1:07
Let's dissect it together for the next twenty
1:09
five minutes. It's gonna be juicy and fun.
1:12
And we'll also talk about work a little bit, so you can justify
1:15
spending your time chatting with me. Okay,
1:19
that was fun. That comes is work? Right. While
1:21
I'm here, I might as well click over to
1:24
my team's group chat. We're working
1:26
on a big project. I bet there are important
1:28
updates for me in there, dancing.
1:39
I feel like I'm forgetting something,
1:43
something important. Oh
1:46
god, my story and it's almost
1:48
four I just need to focus. I'm
1:50
so bad at concentrating on one task,
1:53
even when I know it needs to get done as soon
1:55
as possible. But I'm gonna get serious
1:57
now. I'm gonna sit down and
2:00
write. But I wonder what's
2:02
happening on Facebook.
2:15
Welcome to Works for Me, the show where
2:17
we try to fix our workplace problems
2:19
to find out what strategies will work for
2:21
you. I'm Francesco Levi and I'm
2:23
Rebecca Greenfield. This
2:26
week, it's Beca's turn to take us
2:28
on a productivity journey. Becca,
2:31
what is the problem you're trying to solve
2:33
this week? As you heard in that dramatic
2:35
reenactment at the top of the show,
2:38
I cannot focus on my work.
2:40
I get distracted by Twitter or the Internet
2:43
or my email or chat very
2:45
easily. And it feels like I can never
2:48
sit down and complete a task without
2:50
an interruption. How is that possible?
2:53
I know that you can. You're capable of getting things done.
2:55
You get things done all the time. In fact,
2:57
I think you're like a particularly productive
3:00
person. Like I know people who
3:02
can't focus, and you're nowhere
3:05
on that list. Okay, yeah, that
3:07
is, this is what people say to me. So
3:09
when I told Danny, my boyfriend, that I wanted
3:11
to work on my focus for our next experiment,
3:14
he had the exact same reaction as you did.
3:16
But as I explained to him, getting
3:18
things done is different than
3:20
being focused on the things you're doing.
3:24
I don't really understand why
3:27
you think you need to focus better, because
3:32
you are way more efficient than anyone
3:35
I know. You'll be like, all
3:38
I did was chat all day and then I wrote these
3:40
four stories. I'm
3:42
like, what, I've
3:45
never written four stars in one day. And also,
3:47
I don't think we can play this from my employer
3:49
because I'm not g chatting all day.
3:54
You're not. You are
3:57
working while chatting me. Okay,
4:01
well, I would like to not
4:03
have that habit. I would like to work
4:07
really focused and then when I'm done, reward
4:09
myself with a G chat and then
4:12
be the best version of myself. Okay,
4:15
So you're not liking the experience you're
4:17
having while you're getting stuff done. I do
4:19
not like the experience, and this is a
4:21
common problem that I guess you have. Also,
4:24
um, I'm far from the only person who can't
4:26
focus. British Telecom found that
4:28
people check their phones every twelve
4:30
minutes, so yeah,
4:32
this is something a lot of people can relate to. Yeah,
4:35
I definitely. I mean, my
4:37
phone just flashed. There's like a new feature where it
4:39
shows you how much screen time, and
4:41
my just was like an unwelcome
4:44
push notification about my screen
4:46
time. And I was shocked and horrified
4:49
at just like the amount of time staring at my phone, because I
4:51
know I'm not most of the time, I'm not working when
4:53
I'm staring at my phone. So I've done
4:55
on a phone. Yeah, okay,
4:58
so your focus is a problem apparently,
5:01
and you wanted to fix it. How so
5:04
I didn't really know how. I looked some
5:06
stuff up online, and there are all of
5:08
these brain training websites, but they didn't
5:10
really get at what I wanted. Like,
5:12
I didn't want to get better brain games. I wanted
5:14
to get better at focusing on my work. So
5:17
I went out and found a super
5:20
concentrator, the simone
5:22
Biles of Concentrating. If you will,
5:24
it's not unusual for me to do. I can do a five
5:27
six hour, seven hour day where
5:29
I'm just working on one thing. That's Cal
5:31
Newport. He's a computer scientist at
5:33
Georgetown university. He also happens
5:35
to be very good at concentrating. He
5:38
even wrote a book about it. It's called Deep
5:40
Work Rules for Focused Success
5:42
in a Distracted World. Cal
5:44
got interested in concentrating when he started
5:46
looking into how people do their jobs.
5:49
He quickly realized that the answer to that
5:51
was not very well. He
5:53
found that the workplace is a very distracting
5:56
place, and people like us have convinced
5:58
ourselves that engaging in the distractions
6:00
like answering emails and slack messages
6:03
is part of our jobs. But he
6:06
says, it's just not. I
6:08
don't think we're properly valuing uh,
6:11
concentration, because it's easy to say,
6:13
you know what, I'm busy, I'm communicating, a
6:15
lot of messages are moving, I'm on messenger,
6:17
I'm on my phone, I'm active a lot. So I
6:20
must be productive. I must be doing something
6:22
something right. I must be producing value. But I
6:24
think when you look a little bit closer, you realize
6:27
actually it's the undistracted, concentrated
6:29
work that is more valuable to the bottom
6:31
line in many different positions, in
6:33
many different fields. Kel
6:36
on the other hand, doesn't operate like this
6:38
at all. In his work life. He
6:41
gets all of his work done during the hours of nine
6:43
to five. He doesn't use social media,
6:45
he ignores his inbox. He's disciplined,
6:48
so he realized that he had a lot to teach
6:50
sad distracted sacks like me. The
6:53
good news is that, according to cal
6:55
most people don't even know how much
6:58
they can really focus because
7:00
as they're not even trying well.
7:02
I think physical fitness is a
7:04
good analogy for thinking about this. A
7:07
lot of people incorrectly think
7:09
about the ability to focus as something like
7:11
a habit, like flossing their teeth, something they know how
7:13
to do. It's just a matter of doing it more often. That's
7:16
not actually the case. If you're not actually
7:18
training your mind to be good at sustained
7:20
concentration, you're actually not going to get nearly
7:23
as much value out of your concentration
7:25
sessions. So this is not about small tweaks around
7:27
the edges. Really embracing
7:29
focus as a core skill in your job and
7:31
something that you practice and protect can have
7:33
massive changes to the amount
7:35
of things you're able to produce in the quality level of those
7:38
things. Cow says that you have
7:40
to work out the concentration
7:42
muscles in your brain, and
7:44
by working them out you'll get better
7:46
at using them. So
7:49
everyone's trying to multitask because they feel
7:51
obligated to. But multitasking is
7:54
the destruction of your work, and
7:56
you really need to concentrate. And apparently
7:59
concentrating is something
8:01
that you have to
8:03
use it or lose it, right, Yeah, I find
8:05
this very encouraging. Well,
8:17
so what are you going to do to
8:19
improve your concentration? I
8:22
Am going to work out my brain in an
8:24
attempt to learn how to concentrate better. Cal
8:27
told me about this interval training exercise
8:30
where you sit down with a timer and do twenty
8:32
minutes of work focusing on a single
8:34
difficult task. If I can get
8:37
through twenty minutes a few times without distraction,
8:39
I can increase the time by ten minutes. And
8:41
if I get through that, increase it another ten minutes,
8:44
and so on. Cal also talked
8:46
about how it helps to have a ritual before
8:48
you start doing focused work, like
8:51
he always takes a walk to get coffee
8:53
before getting down to work. So
8:55
I'm going to walk around the news room and put on music
8:57
without words to get in the zone. I'll
8:59
do all of this for a week. Like
9:02
this, you have like a little workout
9:04
plan from your personal trainer, except
9:06
it's for your brain, not your body muscles.
9:09
But how will you know if you have succeeded. So
9:12
I am not very confident
9:15
in my focus ability really
9:18
at all. Like twenty minutes of doing
9:20
one thing uninterrupted sounds
9:22
completely impossible to me. Like
9:25
when I'm writing a story, I cannot not
9:28
click over to something or
9:30
some other tab, Like I'm writing
9:32
one sentence and I need to distract myself.
9:35
So I think I'm going to suck at this. But that
9:37
said, I want to be able to do thirty
9:39
minutes of uninterrupted focused
9:42
time by the end of my experiment. I'm
9:58
starting off the experiment by
10:00
doing the ritual, which is walking
10:02
around the newsroom once before
10:05
I get started. So that's what I'm doing. Look,
10:08
I'm like a crazy person talking to this microphone.
10:11
This was me on my first day, completing
10:13
my first ritual lap around the office.
10:16
Okay, back at my desk, going
10:19
to find
10:23
my playlist. I found. I found this playlist
10:25
called Concentrate at work on
10:27
Spotify. Going
10:30
to set a timer or
10:32
queue up a timer twenty minutes
10:36
and I have a story that I'm working on. I'm gonna
10:38
work on that and
10:41
ready set good
10:46
the playlist had a lot of technobis.
10:51
I sat down to work on my story and it
10:54
wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I
10:56
was trying really hard to not
10:58
look at distracting things, and it
11:00
was working. But soon enough
11:03
I realized that I wasn't exactly
11:05
concentrating on my work either. I
11:09
have five minutes left. I
11:12
think I'm basically
11:14
sitting here staring at the page and not concentrating
11:17
thinking about other things. I'm
11:20
gonna call this I
11:22
fail. Well, this gets into like
11:24
a a tricky area, right,
11:27
because you thought you'd have to just
11:29
eliminate your distractions, but then you
11:31
find ways to distract yourself with your own mind,
11:34
even if you're not actually like looking at Twitter
11:36
or doing whatever else would take you away from
11:39
being in your word document. Yeah, my brain was
11:41
distracting itself fine enough on its own.
11:43
Did not need the two meets. But
11:45
I did decide to try it again that day.
11:48
Okay, take two.
11:51
Gotta in my ritual again. So
11:53
I did my ritual again and walked around the news
11:56
room. Then I sat down to do my work,
11:58
and again my brain was fighting
12:01
the concentration. I was reading
12:03
a story and my eyes were jumping all over
12:05
the page, just looking for something else
12:07
to do. But if that weren't bad enough,
12:10
then something out of my control happened.
12:14
Becca if Ellen
12:16
was a woman, yeah, is
12:19
that the subjects lite? What if he was O?
12:21
Great technicallymatically,
12:27
but it's a subject time,
12:29
so I think stuff.
12:33
Okay. So, as you saw, I got interrupted by
12:36
my boss asking me a question. That's I
12:38
can't X out her window. She
12:40
just talked to me. Okay, that's over.
12:44
Timer is up. Okay, I'm done with this experiment
12:47
right now. Too much to do. Well,
12:49
there's a wrench that got thrown into your plan. Yeah,
12:52
you we work in an open office, like not
12:55
every interruption is a self imposed
12:57
interruption like the internet. It's
13:00
I'm also, this was your boss talking
13:02
to you, right, so it was hardly somebody you
13:04
could ignore or just be like, excuse me,
13:06
I'm concentrating right now doing an experiment
13:08
for a podcast to improve myself. Yeah. No,
13:11
I couldn't do that. And cal
13:13
had warned me about the stuff about my brain
13:15
fighting it, but he didn't really warn me about
13:18
the realities of working in a modern open
13:20
office and how that could interfere with my experience.
13:24
So I tried one more time on that first day,
13:26
and I failed yet again.
13:29
Fifty seconds left and I clicked away
13:34
man. So
13:38
that not a
13:40
very successful first day
13:42
of focusing. Huh. No, my
13:45
first day was a bust. It sucked.
13:48
I failed like hard every
13:50
single time, and I was really
13:52
feeling bad, really
13:54
bad about myself. But I had to keep
13:57
going with the experiment. So on
13:59
day two I soldiered
14:01
on and after the break, we'll
14:03
see how I did. After
14:15
my day of failures, on day
14:17
two, I decided that the playlist was
14:19
the reason for my failed first day. I
14:22
really hated the music. I am just really
14:24
not into techno. It felt like being
14:26
inside and urban outfitters or a
14:29
Burning Man themed co working space.
14:32
It was not for me. I don't alienate
14:35
our techno loving listeners. Sorry,
14:37
it's just awesome for me. But I found
14:39
something I liked better called chill
14:42
lo fi steady beats. I
14:45
don't have to play for you, but I can if you want, I can imagine
14:47
what it sounds like. I'll ever every one
14:49
second. That's
14:55
how a creepy Okay,
14:58
well that's that sounds like haunted music
15:01
box in the haunted house. But whatever
15:04
works for you, sleepy
15:10
wow, right, well,
15:13
to me, it's neither sleepy nor
15:16
creepy. I like it. And
15:19
with this new playlist in hand, I did
15:21
my walk around the newsroom ritual again.
15:24
Can I just point out that, like, it's
15:27
kind of funny that every single time you
15:29
decide you're going to get ready to focus in a given
15:31
day, you now have to get up
15:33
and walk around. It's so much
15:35
walk. I guess you're getting your
15:38
steps in, that's right. So
15:40
I walked around the newsroom again, and
15:42
then I settled into another focus
15:44
session. Need to close
15:50
tab? Wasn't my email? Was
15:53
that? Twitter? Minimized
15:55
chat, setting my timer, and
15:59
here we go. That day, I was
16:01
working on preparing for a big interview
16:03
I had coming up. I was researching the
16:05
people I was interviewing and then writing a list
16:08
of questions to ask them. It
16:10
was feeling pretty good, and then before
16:12
I knew it, time was up. I
16:15
did it. I successfully focus
16:18
for twenty minutes straight, no interruptions.
16:21
Wait, already on your second day?
16:23
Yeah that's awesome, considering you
16:26
felt like you could
16:28
never achieve focusing for more
16:30
than one sentence of writing at a time. Yeah,
16:32
it was. If I dare say, I'm
16:34
miraculous, I felt I felt great, and
16:37
so I thought maybe the playlist was
16:39
the problem. But then came
16:42
my next try and I
16:44
failed. So wait, the playlist wasn't
16:46
the problem. No, I mean I think
16:48
it helped. I think you have to make your environment
16:51
as optimal as you possibly can, Like
16:53
I can't escape from our open office, but at least I don't
16:55
have to torture my ears with techno music.
16:58
But after control for that, I
17:01
realized that the culprit the reason
17:03
I was still struggling was the type of work
17:05
I was doing. So cal talked
17:08
about two kinds of work. There's
17:10
deep work and there's shallow work. Shallow
17:13
work has to happen in order for just an organization
17:15
to function, but deep work has to happen if you actually
17:17
want to advance your organization or advance your
17:19
career. Shallow work is necessary. Deep
17:21
work pays to bills. Shallow work
17:24
is the stuff we have to do to function in the workplace,
17:26
like checking emails, attending meanings,
17:29
making lists. And deep work
17:31
is the meat of your job, which in my world
17:34
is reporting and writing. And the deeper
17:36
the work, the harder it is to focus on.
17:39
Yeah, deep and shallow is a really apt analogy
17:41
for that because I look at like the
17:44
shallow work, the stuff that you can take
17:46
off your list, and it's just basically easy, but it
17:48
makes you happy when you actually get around to getting
17:51
it done, like that feels so good, But it's not. It's
17:53
not hard. So if you just set aside the time for it and commit
17:55
to doing it, you can do it. But the deep work,
17:57
it is like staring into an
18:00
abyss, Like you're just like, I
18:02
have to make something out of nothing. I have to write
18:04
a story, or I have to write a script for a podcast.
18:07
I just got shells. It's it's so hard to just
18:09
stare into the abyss and it's just the ugly
18:12
depths. But I also
18:14
think that there's the spectrum of work
18:16
in between, stuff that contributes
18:19
to deep work, but isn't actually that deep.
18:21
It's like deep adjacent. So for
18:23
me, that's researching and writing up questions
18:26
for an interview, right, you actually have to think about
18:28
that, right, it's not like writing an email. But
18:30
it's not like writing a story either, And that's
18:32
why I think I got through that focus session because
18:35
it was this medium
18:37
work adjacent that's right,
18:39
So it's not as hard as writing a story. So
18:42
I zoomed right through it. But
18:44
so the deep work. Does CAL have any
18:46
suggestions for how to get through the deep work? Yes,
18:49
but it's not a satisfying answer. It's
18:51
not just change your playlist, he said. I
18:53
had to keep practicing. So I just
18:56
kept trying and failing and trying
18:58
and failing again. But then eventually,
19:01
on day four, sorry
19:06
if you did it, I
19:09
got through twenty minutes and it wasn't a fluke. I'd
19:11
broken through some wall and kept succeeding, and
19:14
by day five I was comfortably getting
19:16
through twenty minutes. So I decided
19:18
to go for the holy grail thirty
19:21
minutes. I've
19:25
been training for this moment all week. I
19:28
get up from my desk to walk around the room
19:30
to get in the optimal mindset.
19:32
After a brisk clock I'm feeling good. I
19:35
sit down, put in my earbuds and switch
19:38
on chillow by study beats.
19:40
My brain feels primed. I
19:43
set my timer and then I
19:45
get to work on a story. I'm
19:47
in the zone, writing complete sentences
19:49
about taking a break. I think about
19:51
checking Twitter, but I tell myself, no, stay
19:54
strong, and before I know it, okay,
20:00
I didn't the thirty minutes. It was torture and they did it.
20:04
There you're okay, and I
20:06
can procrastinate throw Wow,
20:11
wow, thirty minutes the holy
20:13
grill, you hit your gold,
20:16
I know. And it really
20:19
felt amazing. And
20:21
I feel so freaking
20:24
good, like it's just
20:27
doing thirty minutes of writing where
20:30
you just get through it, you
20:32
focus. I feel like a
20:34
queen. I know. I know this sounds
20:37
like I'm over
20:39
exaggerating, but it really felt good. I
20:43
mean, usually it's so hard
20:45
for me to get stuff done, like three pm on
20:49
any day, and wow,
20:52
this is crazy. I feel so good, Like
20:55
my brain felt different, I swear,
20:58
and from then on I was untouchable.
21:01
I did thirty minute blocks of focus work
21:03
for the rest of the week, no problem.
21:06
I was getting so good at thirty minutes that
21:08
on my last day, day seven,
21:11
I decided to try for forty
21:14
minutes. WHOA, we
21:17
didn't. Honestly,
21:19
it was hard, um, but
21:24
I kind of what done. Finished
21:27
one task, started another. Honestly,
21:30
feel like I could do more time. Oh
21:36
from zero a zero congratulations,
21:42
Becca, thank you you really
21:46
triumphed. Yeah, it
21:49
felt amazing, as not to restate
21:51
the point, but it felt amazing. It feels
21:54
amazing. I had been worried
21:56
that it would be harder for me to get through the time when
21:58
I had hard work like writing to do, But it wasn't.
22:01
I not only wrote my story, but
22:04
I liked it. It got addictive. I
22:06
wanted more and more. Cal are
22:08
focus afficionado predicted
22:11
that that would happen if you do this pretty
22:13
aggressively for a week. By the end of the week, you'll feel
22:16
you know, this is not only a little bit easier, but my
22:18
work feels a little bit different. I feel like I'm achieving
22:20
a new level of concentration on producing sharper
22:23
words or more words per minute or whatever the metric
22:25
is, but that I'm better
22:27
at concentrating than I was. The
22:29
other feeling you should be looking for is also the
22:32
sort of an emergent attraction to concentration
22:35
is something that you start to crave more. So
22:38
many parallels with exercise, right like
22:41
you, It takes discipline, you have to work
22:43
out your muscles, and then when you do it, you feel really
22:45
good, and then you get kind of predicted to it. I'm
22:48
curious, do you think your work were sharper like did
22:50
the writing you did during those concentrated
22:52
times actually turn out better. So it's
22:54
very hard to measure this, but it was during a time
22:56
of intense productivity for me. It was like
22:58
a crazy couple of weeks I had there.
23:01
Also, the story I wrote one of those
23:03
times was a story that this
23:06
does not happen often. But my editor was
23:08
like, oh, this is really good, and
23:11
so I don't know, you know, you can't really
23:13
measure it, but yes,
23:17
I guess. Well,
23:29
it definitely sounds like you succeeded at your experiment,
23:32
right, you sailed past that thirty minute
23:34
goal. Yeah,
23:36
I did. I did it. After
23:39
my week long experiment. I was an enthusiastic
23:41
focus supporter. I am
23:43
so into this and I hope
23:46
I can keep doing it. It feels so good
23:48
to just sit down and do work. And I
23:51
also was really scared that when I got to
23:53
writing stories, because writing it's so hard
23:56
and torturous, and you want to just like write a
23:58
sentence, look at Twitter, write a sentence,
24:01
check your email. That that would be so hard. But when
24:04
I was doing the concentrating thing, it just wasn't
24:06
it. Just I think you
24:08
psych yourself out, but you can sit
24:10
down and write a story and yeah, it's not perfect, but you
24:13
can do it, So that was awesome. The downsides
24:16
I think are when you come back, you
24:18
feel like you can just go
24:21
crazy not focusing.
24:24
Yeah, I wonder if if you don't
24:26
keep this up, it goes
24:28
back to being just as hard. If the exercise
24:30
analogy holds, then it would, right.
24:33
Yeah, I read somewhere about exercise like if you don't
24:35
do it for two days, you're back to your
24:37
base. So maybe it's the same for brain,
24:39
Like I can't I got to
24:41
go back to twenty minutes and not being able to do it.
24:44
But you're addicted to it at this point, so
24:46
it shouldn't be a problem. Let's just keep doing these sessions
24:48
focusing forever um.
24:51
But yeah, I think there are a couple of caveats, Like
24:53
I said you
24:55
do, there's like still a lot of procrastination evolved,
24:57
like those does not have anything to be procrastinate,
25:00
and like it took me a long time sometimes to get
25:02
to the focus session. And I think you in a
25:04
way procrastinate more before and after
25:06
because you are anticipating
25:09
all of your focus. You're like, I gotta get into my internet
25:11
time now like a crazy person. And
25:14
then I also think like not everyone can
25:17
do this if you have a type of job where you can't
25:19
shut the world out for chunks of time at the day. But
25:21
I think a lot of people think their job is like that,
25:24
but it's not. They think that they can't
25:27
shut the world up if they can, like
25:29
I think a lot of people can take twenty minutes and
25:31
not answer emails. Yeah,
25:34
and presumably if your job really is one
25:36
of those jobs that you can't shut out the world,
25:38
like like
25:40
you're an air traffic controller, then
25:43
don't do that. By not shutting out the world, you're
25:45
actually doing your job, So you would still feel
25:47
accomplished even if you're just like listening
25:49
to all the inputs and you know,
25:51
taking in lots of outside feedback, because
25:53
that's still good work. Like you
25:56
never would need to check Twitter. You
25:58
might need to respond to an but you're right, probably
26:01
not as quickly as you think. So I
26:03
really strongly suggest people try this. UM.
26:07
And the big lesson that I'm taking from
26:09
this is I thought of myself as somebody who thrived
26:11
in the chaos, like I'd optimized
26:13
working with distractions, and
26:16
now I know that they're I don't have to do that, Like
26:18
there's a better way, and it not only helps
26:21
me get work done, but it really made me feel
26:23
a lot better. It's like, I don't
26:25
want to say there's a simple trick that
26:27
will turn you into some superhuman
26:29
worker, but sometimes you just have
26:31
to like try something different and
26:34
you'll feel less stuck. Um.
26:46
