JA Westenberg'Deep workâ is just âdoing your jobâ for people whoâve been on Slack so long they forgot what that felt like
Svavar the NeurospicyThis really hits home for me. It's not just Slack, it's also modern office environments that make focus impossible.
Confused Middle Aged Dad@svavar @Daojoan Open plan offices! These encourage colleagues to interrupt and ask questions continually during the working day. I am available for questions at points during the day, and have specific longer sessions to deal with more in depth issues that those learning the job quite reasonably need to learn about. But people seem to have expectations of instant and always on answering.
ShadSterling@Daojoan nearly a decade ago I got dubbed the âdeep dive guyâ, and I didnât say it out loud but I was thinking ⊠so the rest of you just donât know what youâre doing?
Mike Roach@ShadSterling @Daojoan So that makes everyone else the âshallow skim and give upâ people. Nice
jarizleifr@Daojoan Likewise, "deep knowledge" is just "knowledge" in this day and age, when people in general are just disinterested and don't care about anything. Aligning with a thing and understanding its internals and processes used to be a given. Try explaining depth to someone who doesn't believe depth exists, that everything is easy now and everyone can do anything passably.
Paddy Duke@Daojoan Me scheduling "deep work focus time" in my calendar four times a day so my boss knows I'm working twice as hard as people who only have two such slots.
Ludwig Vielfrass@Daojoan if it were just slack it would be one thing. 10 hours of zoom a week is my baseline meeting activity, and this is my new STREAMLINED weekly meeting schedule down from 15 hours.
Inevitably another 5 to 10 percolate in every week. I find two hours of meetings more exhausting than 8 of productive work.
