Deep Work Is Meaningful

“Another issue muddying the connection between depth and meaning in knowledge work is the cacophony of voices attempting to convince knowledge workers to spend more time in shallow activities. As elaborated in the last chapter, we live in an era where anything Internet related is understood by default to be innovative and necessary. Depth destroying behaviors such as immediate email responses and an active social media presence are lauded, while avoidance of these trends generates suspicion.”
