Want to carve out quality time for thinking deeply about your teaching? No matter your teaching to-dos, we would love to work alongside you. Deep Work is based on the practice of time blocking, which is designating time for full concentration on a single task while minimizing distraction. Time blocking can increase your enjoyment of work, productivity, and sense of control in your work life. We hope you’ll consider joining our deep work community. Join us for a chance to win a copy of Cal Newport’s bestselling book, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World.
