Simple and useful

Good intro to deep work and the planning routines, though I wish there’d been a bit more on handling interruptions at work.

Easy to apply

I liked the part on building a focus block and then actually recovering after it. The short exercises made that click for me.

Focus blocks finally made sense

The attention-planning-recovery loop stood out most.

Best for total beginners

Solid overview of focus and deep work basics. I’d say it fits people who are completely new to the topic more than anyone already using these habits.
