1
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.000
[soft, pensive music playing]
I know. I know.

2
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:06.000
We need shallow work.

3
00:00:06.850 --> 00:00:07.850
Meetings,

4
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:09.550
emails,

5
00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:11.850
expense reports.

6
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:15.800
But we also need...

7
00:00:19.450 --> 00:00:20.750
focus time.

8
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:24.700
Deep work.

9
00:00:26.150 --> 00:00:29.050
Block my calendar.
Mute all notifications.

10
00:00:29.450 --> 00:00:31.450
I'll stare down the silence.

11
00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:34.950
Bang my head against boredom.

12
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:37.400
For hours.

13
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:39.100
And then...

14
00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:42.550
I'll find it.

15
00:00:45.550 --> 00:00:46.850
The missing piece.

16
00:00:53.050 --> 00:00:54.350
The right word.

17
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:02.800
The finishing touch.

18
00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:14.250
When I come back,

19
00:01:15.350 --> 00:01:16.250
you'll see.

20
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.850
There's a time and place for shallow,
and for deep.

21
00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:31.800
One keeps us going.

22
00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:36.100
One moves us forward.
