Deep Work

Cal Newport

These notes are specific to me, I have cherry picked the points that I find most important. Thus, it is an incomplete summary of Deep work. It is however, thorough enough for me. I would suggest reading the book and making your own notes before going through mine.

Deep Work: Professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.

A Beginner's Hip Hop Playlist

Edit: After some constructive feedback on hacker news, I think that it's worth mentioning that this playlist is very skewed towards recent material, although I've included some essentials from the past.

The script is written to block access to any process, any port. You can also delete those lines and it will only block Mail. Or use the options to enter any process, port or protocol you want to block.
