Block a Day for Deep Work to Boost Productivity
The piece advises setting aside one calendar day—usually Wednesday—as a permanent, no‑meeting block for uninterrupted deep work. It outlines seven actionable steps, including pre‑blocking the day, postponing email and Slack until noon, concentrating on a single concrete project, using do‑not‑disturb settings, taking a mid‑day walk, and ending with a brief 4 pm check‑in. Implementing this routine is presented as a way to sharpen focus and drive momentum.

What My Son's Graduation Taught Me About Rewiring — and Why It Has to Happen Twice A high school English teacher quoted a 200-year-old poet to a room full of 18-year-olds. I was sitting thinking about every executive I know — because the lesson wasn't for the kids. https://jasonaverbook.substack.com/p/what-my-sons-graduation-taught-me

Monday reminder: You don’t need to change your entire life this week. You just need to take the next step. The Japanese concept of Ikigai is often described as the reason you get up in the morning. The intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what creates value. Finding your Ikigai rarely happens overnight. It’s usually the result of small, consistent actions. Learn a little. Improve a little. Stay curious. Keep moving forward. Big results are often built from ordinary habits repeated over time. Start this week with purpose, not pressure. What is one small step you can take today toward your Ikigai? #MondayMotivation #Ikigai #GrowthMindset #Leadership #PersonalDevelopment Source 🙏🏻Alvin Foo @IanLJones98 @NevilleGaunt @bamitav @altiamkabir @sijlalhussain @marcusborba @jblefevre60 @Nicochan33 @TerenceLeungSF @KirkDBorne @CurieuxExplorer @enilev @Eli_Krumova @pascal_bornet @anand_narang @sulefati7 @Xbond49 @Hana_ElSayyed @engmlubbad @Timothy_Hughes @mcanducci @RLDI_Lamy @segundoatdell @engmlubbad @rvp @ipfcoline1 @PatGrant7777 @NigelTozer @Ronald_vanLoon @pierrepinna @Khulood_Almani @BetaMoroney @AKWY
