From New York Times bestselling author Cal Newport comes a bold vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox--and unleashing a new era of productivity. Modern knowledge workers communicate constantly. Their days are defined by a relentless barrage of incoming messages and back-and-forth digital conversations--a state of constant, anxious chatter in which nobody can disconnect, and so nobody has the cognitive bandwidth to perform substantive work. There was a time when tools like email felt cutting edge, but a thorough review of current evidence reveals that the hyperactive hive mind workflow they helped create has become a productivity disaster, reducing profitability and perhaps even slowing overall economic growth. Equally worrisome, it makes us miserable. Humans are simply not wired for constant digital communication. We have become so used to an inbox-driven workday that it's hard to imagine alternatives. But they do exist. Drawing on years of investigative reporting

降低過動訊息的干擾，每天只需工作5小時。——亞馬遜Top 1暢銷書——年度最佳商業／領導書《Deep Work深度工作力》作者給予當代職場的中肯建言當Email的「便利」被誤解成「效率」，工作就會淪為過動式溝通的犧牲品。四大原則建立Email的全新工作型態，讓我們焦慮更少、成就更多。——《Deep Work深度工作力》進階實踐篇「我以為一旦人們意識到專注力的重要性，便可以輕易改變他們的工作方式，我發現自己太樂觀了。這本書便是我對於替代方案的全新願景。」——卡爾．紐波特——一本自己需要、也希望老闆讀一讀的書▏當工作被訊息綁架，下班了卻還在上班上班族平均每六分鐘檢查一次收件匣或即時通訊，每日處理的訊息高達一百二十六則。Email曾經是劃時代的便利發明，但如今許多證據顯示，過度仰賴Email已造成「過動蜂巢式」的溝通現象，訊息零碎又密集，拖垮了效率、造成了焦慮。就連下班時間，也感覺自己在不斷累積通訊負債。▏原本預期Email停擺會造成的溝通黑暗期，卻意外成為生產力的黎明曙光由於Email太過便利，我們從未真正大刀闊斧地改變使用方式。許多談論專注力的著作，也僅是微調我們的通訊使用習慣，無法從根本解決問題。持續的工業成長有賴於持續改進生產流程，自一九○○年以來，體力勞動者的產能增加了五○倍，但對知識工作者來說，都已經累到要過勞了還是被工作追著跑，我們難道沒有更好的選擇？白宮曾遭駭客入侵，原本預期Email停擺數週之久將成為一場災難，沒想到在過渡期之後，生產力卻意外大幅提升。在這個過度溝通的時代，我們需要像福特汽車裝配線翻新了汽車產能一樣的革新作法，才能將我們從高壓的工作日常中解放。▏四大Email使用原則，用有限的專注力換取最高的產出在知識工作領域，工作大致分成「工作流」和「工作執行」兩部分，過動訊息所造成的工作流紊亂，已大幅壓縮和干擾到工作執行。下列四大原則將為我們打造一條更為順暢的高效工作流，用較少的時間就能換取更高品質的產出。．專注力資本原則：把專注力視為一項資本，優化員工為產品加值的工作流。．流程原則： 在生產流程中去除非必要的互動，減輕員工的額外干擾、專注在工作執行。．協定原則： 制訂何時與如何進行溝通的原則，事先的規劃有助於降低長期的成本。．專業化原則： 職務分工專業化，員工專責的工作少一些，工作品質將會高很多。
