Time Block Planning

Based on the book Deep Work, by Cal Newport

Overview: 

Due to the complex and ongoing demands placed on today’s school leader, you probably find yourself easily distracted by wandering thoughts, or social media updates while trying to be productive.

In Deep Work, Cal Newport teaches you how to develop your focus and resist distractions so that you can rise to the top of your field and drive toward your most important goals. He contends that focus is like a mental muscle: Through deliberate training, you can strengthen your focus and expand your mental capacity.

Newport explains why the ability to do deep work (work that requires intense concentration) is so important in our modern economy, and he shows how to make deep work a part of your life.

Takeaways: 

This session will review the tenants of Newport’s book in juxtaposition to the demanding role of today’s school leader.

We ask that attendees bring their calendars so we can model ways you can begin to time block your upcoming schedules guiding you towards more focus and productivity in the days and weeks to come.
