Hey everybody, my name is Ryan Gromfin and I'm an author, speaker, chef, restaurateur
and I'm the founder of therestaurantboss.com as well as clickbacon.com
and I love sharing these books with you.
I listen to a lot of books and I listen to them on a platform called Audible.
Now, below this video if you're watching it on my website,
will be links to... For you to get a free one-month trial with one book to Audible

If you're watching it on YouTube, scroll down to the comments section
and click on the link and come watch it on my website.
There's way more cool stuff over there.
Anyway, so let's talk about Deep Work.
So this idea of deep work is that, when we're scatterbrained,
when we're all over the place, we can't really get into it.
I want you to think about on-boarding and off-boarding
or like on-ramping and off-ramping like onto a freeway, right?
The on-ramp is designed, it's, it's long and you've got like a mile
or quarter mile or half mile to get your car up to speed before you merge into traffic.
Can you imagine? If you're on ramp was like this short,
like it was just boom! There you go into 70 mile an hour traffic
and then same thing with off-ramping.
You gotta like slow down a little bit get into a lane.
Otherwise, the cars behind you're gonna rear-end you before you get off.
Well, there's this theory. It's not a theory. It's been proven
that when we're doing work when we're trying to do like deep work,
like think about projects problems that we need to solve,
it takes us about 20-25 minutes to get into our zone
and then it takes us about 20-25 minutes to transition to another project.
So, if we're only doing a few minutes at work here and there, we never actually get into it.
So, Deep Work is about how to structure your life and your job and your calendar,
so you can really get into your projects.
I work in block time. So, I never work on a block of time for less than an hour.
Sometimes, I do 30-minute blocks, but that's more like meaningless tasks.
That's more like just data entry stuff, but if I'm thinking on a project,
I try to block out two, three, even four hours.
So, I could really get into that work and not have any distractions.
Sometimes, I leave the office, sometimes I make sure that no one is home in my home office.
So, I'm not distracted, but again there's a lot of techniques in this book
and I don't want to give you all the details because I want you to read it.
But if you ever find that you just aren't able to like solve big problems
or you keep starting projects and not finishing them,
chances are, it's because we're just by constantly dabbling in them.
We're not like in it.
So, I love this book. It's called Deep Work and if you get interested in this field,
there's five or six other great books and programs online and theories and courses that you can take.
I've been through a lot of them and I can tell you that one of the biggest changes in my life,
from you know, a little bit of success to a lot of success came when I learned,
how to master my calendar and get into this idea of deep work.
So the book is called Deep Work. It's by a gentleman named Cal Newport.
I think you're gonna love it.
