Deep Work Daily Planner

According to Cal Newport, Deep Work is defined as “Professional activity performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.”

This template is oriented to promote this type of work. Specifically, it is dedicated scheduling your day methodically.

Divide your work day into blocks and assign activities to each one (including room for meals and breaks). This method also forces you to be thoughtful about batching similar tasks. For instance, if you have two people you need to call and three people you need to email, combine those tasks into one block of shallow work after a deep work session.
