About this listen
Despite its value, Deep Work is often displaced by trends like huge open office plans and the push for instant messaging and social media presence. These behaviors thrive due to the Metric Black Hole, where the bottom-line impact of depth-destroying behaviors is difficult to measure. We explore the Principle of Least Resistance (tendency toward easier behaviors like quick communication, rather than complex planning) and how Busyness acts as a Proxy for Productivity when clear metrics are absent. Finally, we discuss how the "Cult of the Internet" ideology leads organizations to adopt distracting network tools regardless of their empirical value.
