Eve Rodsky on Deep Work

What are the conditions that set you up for your best deep work?

“One time use survey showed that women were being interrupted during the pandemic every 3 minutes and 42 seconds. Deep work is only achieved by women with caregiving responsibilities (like me) when we transfer the mental load to men. This issue is about men finally stepping up to do their fair share of housework and childcare -- and when the assumptions of who does what change to structured decision making of who does what. Even women who are not caregivers and who are not married to men cannot do deep work when they are assumed to handle all non-promotable tasks at their workplaces like ordering the boss's birthday cake.”
