Deep Work Accelerator: Build Unbreakable Concentration in 30 Days

What if I can't even focus for 30 minutes?

That's exactly why you need this bootcamp. Together, we'll build your capacity gradually with structure and accountability. Most people are shocked they can do 30 minutes in Week 1 with the right system in place.

How much time do I need to commit?

The time commitment increases methodically, week to week. In the first week, you'll need to commit 3 hours. By the fourth week, it'll be nearly 6 hours. But remember: almost all of this time is spent doing your actual work, just more effectively. You're not adding work; you're replacing distracted time with focused time.

What if English isn't my first language?

It's not a problem. Transcripts can be provided for the four video lessons. And during our live guided co-working sessions there's actually no talking allowed. So you won't need to say anything on camera or answer questions (I will, however, be providing verbal instructions at the beginning and end of each session, so if this is going to be challenging for you to understand please message me ahead of time and we can discuss options). All discussion happens in the community forum where you can easily use your preferred translation service to read comments and post your own.

What kind of work should I bring?

I cover this in detail in Week 1, but here's an idea: any project requiring sustained focus. Writing, coding, designing, planning, studying, creating. The key is that it should be output-driven (creating something) rather than input-driven (consuming information). Further, you should pick tasks that allow you to single-task for at least 30 minutes. Tasks that require you to jump around from tab to tab and app to app every few seconds are not good fits.

Isn't this just the Pomodoro Technique?

DeepCycles utilizes a combination of proven strategies, including deep work principles, Pomodoro Technique, Ultraworking's work cycles, intention-setting, Smart Breaks, noting + labelling, body doubling, distraction management, and more. Combined, it's like rocket fuel for work. While Pomodoro is part of it, DeepCycles is a complete protocol, adding progressive training, environmental management, and internal regulation.

What if I can't make it to a live guided session every week?

The live sessions are critical—that's where the magic happens. Group accountability creates something special that solo practice can't replicate. These sessions are at the centre of the transformation itself, not optional add-ons. However, if an emergency comes up, I'll have a recording available so you can run through it that week and still do the work. As well, I offer four different live guided session times each week - so if you do miss one, simply join another.

I read the book Deep Work. Why would I pay for a bootcamp like this?

You know how to do it, but have you actually done it? Information is easy to get, you're right. In fact, I've shared most of it in various newsletters, blog posts, and Reddit posts over the years. But it's putting it all together into a cohesive system and actually doing it that's the hard part. In a word: Implementation. That's really what you're paying for.

(Also, the Deep Work Accelerator bootcamp is way, way, way more detailed and structured than Cal Newport's book (which I have read and love! Shoutout to Cal))

Is this the only way to do deep work?

No, this is a tried and true method. A complete system. It will give you a head start. Once you're familiar and comfortable with it, you can tweak it to your liking.
