Moreover, “deep work” is a bullshit claim. Working solo long sessions without communicating is not an indication of… anything, really. The moment “deep work” becomes a trend, some idiot will start measuring it, making it yet another counterproductive way to torture people.

Measure business outcomes and implement changes that don’t fall victims to Goodhart’s law. If a director can think of a way to game a measure, workers will think of ten.

Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.

Cool. Here’s to no one starting measuring your solo work time in place of your project completion count 🍺
