particular, identify a deep task {that is, something that requires deep work to complete} that's high on your priority list. Estimate how long you'd normally put aside for an obligation of this type, then give yourself a hard deadline that drastically reduces this time. If possible, commit publicly to the deadline-for example, by telling the person expecting the finished project when they should expect it. If this isn't possible {or if it puts your job in jeopardy}, then motivate yourself by setting a countdown timer on your phone and propping it up where you can't avoid seeing it as you work. At this point, there should be only one possible way to get the deep task done in time: working with great intensity-no e-mail breaks, no daydreaming, no Facebook browsing, no repeated trips to the coffee machine.
