Cal Newport
Cal Newport is an American computer scientist and nonfiction author, currently a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Georgetown University. His research focuses on concentration, digital minimalism, and knowledge work productivity. He is the author of several widely read works including Deep Work and Digital Minimalism. His central argument is that reducing digital distractions and cultivating the capacity for deep focus can substantially increase individual productivity and professional value in an era of information overload.

Timeline (last 90 days)
The time-blocking method was systematically articulated and popularized by productivity researcher Cal Newport in his book Deep Work.
In his book Deep Work, Cal Newport argues that the ability to engage in long periods of uninterrupted, focused work has become a scarce and highly valuable skill.
Cal Newport noted in Deep Work that it typically takes humans 15–25 minutes of uninterrupted concentration to enter a flow state, and that after a single interruption it may take an additional 23 minutes to return to the same level of focus.
In his 2019 book Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport argues that people should intentionally choose a small number of digital tools that are truly valuable.
In his 2019 book Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport argues that people should deliberately choose a small number of digital tools that are truly valuable.
In his 2019 book Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport proposed that one should consciously select a small number of digital tools that are truly valuable.
In Digital Minimalism, published in 2019, Cal Newport argues that people should consciously choose a small number of digital tools that are truly valuable.
