I keep hearing about “deep work” as this must-have skill for professionals, but I’m curious how well it translates to dentistry. Our days are a mix of precise procedures, patient interactions, and unexpected challenges hardly the uninterrupted blocks of time deep work seems to require.
Has anyone in dentistry (or other hands-on fields) actually made it work? Do you schedule focus time between appointments, or is the whole idea better suited to desk jobs? I’m all for optimizing productivity, but I wonder if this is just focus with a fancy label. Would love to hear real-world experiences.
