  > Lot of people doing deep work do it on a schedule - and a very hard one at that Indeed, and I was not talking about zero/low-schedule, but the minimum necessary. That is, no micro-self-management beyond that. > based on the creation of habit, instead of relying on luck to be in the zone I also agree. That is why I said not the lazy freedom. Habit is important, but a habit-mindset is not always the most creative/productive. Also, habit has that automaticity that can prevent the kind of useful essentialism mentionned in the article. So, it is a balancing act. schedule/habit are only half the story.
