Deep Work vs. Shallow Work Ratio

Productivity metric measuring the proportion of time spent on cognitively demanding tasks (deep work) versus administrative and logistical tasks (shallow work), with recommendations to maximize deep work percentage.

Shallow Work Batching

Cal Newport's practice of consolidating administrative, logistical, and low-cognitive-demand tasks into dedicated time blocks rather than mixing throughout day. Prevents shallow work from fragmenting schedule and interrupting deep work. Typically batched afternoon when energy naturally dips.
