Push For Deep Understanding

Say Hello

In this episode of "Navigate The Day," we explore the concept of deep work and how it relates to personal growth and self-improvement. Through journaling, we reflect on our own experiences with deep work and how it relates to our daily lives. The journal prompt for this episode is "Am I doing deep work?" The episode starts with a quote from Marcus Aurelius, "From Rusticus…I learned to read carefully and not be satisfied with a rough understanding of the whole, and not to agree too quickly with those who have a lot to say about something." The episode delves into the idea that while journaling is a form of deep work, it is important to also apply this level of critical thinking and analysis to other areas of our lives. The speaker reflects on their current job as a cultivation assistant and how it is not mentally stimulating, and how their focus often shifts to feeling that their work is unfulfilling and not worth the time or effort. Furthermore, the speaker reflects on their goals and plans and the realization that they may have been skimming through them and not doing deep work. They also discuss the concept of imposter syndrome and how it relates to their current situation and future aspirations. The speaker concludes by acknowledging that change is not easy and that they need to spend more time immersed in deep work and stop taking varied inputs and instead focus on one specific thing to gain a deep understanding of it.
