Product Information

One of the first things Modi and his teams consider is an organization’s “capabilities for innovation.” That is, what tasks, systems or processes could be improved by innovative or shifted thinking? What areas exist for mindset improvement? Not everything needs an overhaul, Modi stresses. Unravel real-world scenarios where these questions shine the brightest, and get tips on tailoring them on the fly.

These insights largely comment on what breeds unproductivity at workplaces while also showing how unproductivity is a massive phenomenon. But films can also help us grow as individuals. They can encourage us to question our lives, to awaken to endless possibilities and help us to understand where we’re heading as a society. Most people are familiar with popular thought-provoking movies like The Matrix, Inception, Donnie Darko, Moon, V for Vendetta, Mulholland Dr., Memento, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Fight Club. At this point, one may think that “this is not for me”. Deep Work is for gifted people, with extraordinary abilities, who have conquered their willpower, and untangled life’s mysteries – which is untrue.

1) Be skeptical

It can be tempting to think of successful entrepreneurs as god-like figures: untouchable, unfailing, perfect business owners with a magical ability to recognise the ‘next big thing’ and seal the deal before the rest of us have even had breakfast! But that isn’t the case. This could take the form of a learning plan and/or opportunities for educators to create their own professional learning. This could be online and/or in person- i.e. blended and competency-based approaches that are recommended by the NGLC network of schools, for example. When you find out that you are mistaken or need to update your thinking, welcome it and be prepared to laugh at yourself. Focus on improving rather than proving yourself (Grant, 2021). Exercise and meditation are incredibly beneficial in keeping your body fit and your mind positive. Whenever you get tired of long work hours or feel fatigued, just take deep breaths or take a stroll to breathe in the fresh air.

When coaching someone to adopt a growth mindset, you must help them learn what it looks like in themselves and others. Only then can they begin to make the changes needed to spend more time in the growth zone.Recall all the wisdom you’ve collected on productivity, time management, smart work, etc, and throw it out of the window. Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” – Mary Kay Ash Instead, as you begin to understand the fixed and growth mindsets, you will see exactly how one thing leads to another— how a belief that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and actions, and how a belief that your qualities can be cultivated leads to a host of different thoughts and actions, taking you down an entirely different road. I hear you thinking – this Deep Work guide thing seems like a decent idea, but I am not sure if I can focus for that long. We are confronted with daily dilemmas. Some are small (What should we have for lunch?) while others significantly impact our lives (Should we work for a startup?).

Deep Work offers a way of living that cultivates productivity that rewards the individual with the gifts of happiness and smoother lifestyles. Take Action: We know that to develop academic mindsets, students should have positive attitudes and beliefs about themselves as learners. Seek opportunities to involve students meaningfully and watch their self-esteem and self-efficacy increase. Recognize that your own learning is a social process and seek assistance from colleagues online and in person to support your own professional learning and growth.

7) Be curious and always go deeper

So what do they do next? I’ll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they would probably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. In another study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study, they have run from difficulty. Scientists measured the electrical activity from the brain as students confronted an error. On the left, you see the fixed mindset students. There’s hardly any activity. They run from the error. They don’t engage with it. But on the right, you have the students with the growth mindset, the idea that abilities can be developed. They engage deeply. Their brain is on fire with yet. They engage deeply. They process the error. They learn from it and they correct it. While we're on the topic of mindset coaching questions, it's vital to remember that coaching isn't an interrogation. It's a dance between listening and questioning. Sometimes, the most powerful thing a coach can do is stay silent, allowing the client to process, reflect, and speak. The art lies in knowing when to pose a question and when to simply lend a listening ear. 3. Significance of Follow-Ups and Action Items Group settings can become powerful opportunities to challenge your entrenched beliefs and views. Embrace the joy of being wrong The thing with unproductivity is that it not only steals man-hours from businesses but also impacts the employees’ work-life balance .
