Ready for a challenge that could redefine your skills, creativity, and productivity? Grab your calendar and mark the next 100 days as a time for transformation. This is a guide based on the deep work method that I follow—a strategy you can use to improve any skill, build something new, conduct research, or learn something entirely different. Choose your focus, and let’s dive into this journey of self-improvement.

Deep Work: Finding Your Flow

Deep work, or what I like to call “flow,” is about immersing yourself in your work until you forget about time. It’s about maintaining focus without distractions. Each morning, before I even open my eyes, I start mentally planning my day. I visualize what needs to get done. After a quick five-minute mental run-through, I get out of bed, freshen up, and start working.

It’s not about clocking hours—it’s about making sure what I imagined in the morning gets done by the end of the day. I use a to-do list to track progress. If I complete 7 out of 10 tasks, I only achieved 70% of my goal. Before bed, I add any unfinished tasks to tomorrow’s list, along with 10 new ones.
