In his book Deep Work, Cal Newport distinguishes between “deep work” and “shallow work.”

Deep work = The ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time.

Shallow Work = The frantic blur of e-mail, social media, and simple, logistical tasks that leave you feeling like a human network router.
