Cal Newport
“To simply wait and be bored has become a novel experience in modern life, but from the perspective of concentration training, it’s incredibly valuable.”
Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Anita Desai
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”

Nicholas Carr
“What the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. Whether I’m online or not, my mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words.

Nicholas G. Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

Cal Newport
“Clarity about what matters provides clarity about what does not.”
Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

“Two Core Abilities for Thriving in the New Economy 1. The ability to quickly master hard things. 2. The ability to produce at an elite level, in terms of both quality and speed.”
