Usually we tend to focus on the urgent tasks and ignore important (and usually longer gratification items – ex, Fitness, Up skilling or understanding the business domain)
#Tune out when doing deep work.
You tend to accomplish more in 2 hours of deep-work vs a day of distracted focus.

Book recommendation on the topic – Cal Newport’s Deep Work
