    If I could have done something better over the last year, it would be deep work. In this blogpost I will enlighten you how social media is a deterrent to deep work.

    Cal Newport mentions at length about the importance of deep work in his iconic book.

    This book does have a lot of relevance in the modern day economy wherein doing a work of art via deep work indeed matters.

    Social media and other networking tools cause a lot of distraction and hence act as a major deterrent to doing deep work.

    Hence my advise is to use social media as well as other networking tools a little judiciously in order to save you time to perform deep work.

    This is why Distractions are detrimental to Deep Work
    Stay away from distractions
