深度工作的重要性，以及学习新技能的30小时法
The Importance of Deep Work and the 30-Hour Method for Learning a New Skill

导读
文章讨论深度工作的重要性，并介绍一种用约 30 小时集中学习新技能的方法：围绕具体主题规划资源与练习，在有限时间内保持高强度专注。作者还以某个主题的逐步学习清单为例，展示如何从零开始建立系统认识。
为什么经久不衰：它把“专注”从口号变成可执行的时间盒与学习流程，对今天被通知和碎片信息包围的人尤其有用。

《Deep Work》提供可操作的深度工作时间管理策略，作者亲测有效。
作者引用了 Cal Newport 的《Deep Work》。我最近刚读完这本书，强烈推荐。它不是那种只讲专注有多重要的 productivity 空话；作者用学术式的严谨和可信证据来支撑论点，而且不只是理论，100% 可操作。我用 Newport 的建议找回了 4 个多小时的深度专注时间，对生产力和整体生活质量影响巨大。几个有效策略：每天列 TODO 并区分浅层/深层任务；把每个小时分块填入任务；把浅层工作限制在 2 小时；做记分卡追踪每天深度工作小时数；试验两周看哪些建议有效；学会坦然说“不”。

The author references Cal Newport's Deep Work [1]. I recently read this book and I can't recommend it enough. It's not just a productivity fluff piece about the importance of focus. He brings an academic rigor to the debate and backs up his claims with legitimate evidence. Best of all, the book is not just theory, it's 100% actionable. I used Newport's recommendations to reclaim 4+ solid hours of deep focus and it's had a tremendous impact on my productivity and general quality of life. Here are a few strategies I found successful: * Create a TODO list each day and separate tasks into shallow and deep categories * Block off each hour of the day and and fill it with one of the TODO items * Restrict shallow work to 2 hours (after 2 hours, say no to everything shallow) * Create a scorecard and track the number of deep hours each day (this number should increase) * Experiment with Newport's recommendations for two weeks and see which ones increase your deep hours * Become comfortable saying no [1] https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692/
行业一边推崇深度专注，一边用开放式办公室和福利文化破坏专注，自相矛盾。
我无法理解的是，为什么我们同时拥有：(a) 长期研究证明“高质量产出 = 时间 × 专注强度”对知识工作者产出最有价值；(b) 开放式办公室。也许科技行业对新人不友好，是因为我们把人塞进沙丁鱼罐头，发个乒乓球拍和精酿啤酒，然后说“不颠覆一切今晚别回家”。

One thing I cannot understand is why we have both: (a) a long history of research proving to us that principles like "High-Quality Work Produced = (Time Spent) x (Intensity of Focus)" are accurate and highly related to extracting the most economically valuable outputs from knowledge workers. (b) open plan offices. Maybe the tech industry is daunting for newcomers because we cram people into a sardine can, give them a ping pong paddle and a craft beer, and say "don't go home tonight until you've Disrupted Everything."
赞赏文末的 30 小时主题学习清单，并希望有众包式的最新资源指南。
我很喜欢文末的例子——针对一个具体主题的逐步深入：30 小时学习，直接给出资源链接，最后对主题形成有认知的了解。我通常很难在陌生领域的大量（常常过时）资源中筛选；一度觉得应该众包这类分领域的 step-by-step 指南。像在线课程，但汇集网上最新最好的博客和资源，而不是只依赖某个做视频的人的一家之言。有人知道类似的东西吗？你们如何深入陌生领域？

I really like his example at the end - step-by-step deep dive into a specific topic. 30 hours of learning, direct links to resources, come out the other end as informed and aware of the topic at hand. I usually find it difficult to wade through the mountains of possible (often outdated) resources on a topic I'm unfamiliar with - At one point I was thinking it'd be useful to crowdsource those kind of step-by-step guides across a variety of verticals. Kind of like an online class, except pulling from the best up to date blog posts and specific resources from around the internet, instead of relying on a singular POV of the guy who made some videos and called it a course. Anyone know of anything like that? How do you approach deep diving into unfamiliar spaces?
长期实践并改成 20 小时法，认为时间盒能让人认真投入并越过初期困难。
多年前读过这篇文章，用这套系统记录了约 1800 小时。像很多人一样，做个人项目时我既想有成果又想享受过程，但二者常冲突：做有价值的事需要不一定愉快的努力。我把系统稍改成“20 小时法”，思路一样：选定想学/想做的事，专注 20 小时。我第一次真切感到这个决定的重量，因为它会导向大量时间精力；以前没有这种感觉，因为我知道决定只会持续到第一个小障碍。这套系统是我平衡“做喜欢的事”和“熬过困难”的客观方式。不是励志技巧；我知道多数时候唯一出路是穿过它，所以先做难的部分，到 20 小时时往往还想继续，尽管过程中有些部分很讨厌。

I read this article years ago and have logged about 1,800 hours using this system. Like many, when it comes to personal projects, I want to accomplish something and enjoy myself. The problem is that those are often at odds with each other: accomplishing something worthwhile requires hard work that isn't always enjoyable. I've modified the system slightly to a "20-Hour Method" but the idea is the same. I decide on something I would like to learn or work on and focus on it for 20 hours. Remarkably, I felt the weight of this decision for the first time, I knew my decision would direct a significant amount of time and effort. I never felt this before, because I knew my decisions would only last until the first small obstacle. This system is how I balance the trade-off between doing what I enjoy and pushing through the hard times. It's not a motivational trick to me. It is the objective way I have decided to balance the trade-off between hard work and constant enjoyment. With few exceptions, I know that the only way out is through, so I do the hard work, and when 20-Hours rolls around, I often find I do want to continue, even though I hated some parts along the way.
