I graduated from college feeling pretty good about joining the world of working adults. Sure, I didn’t have a set plan for my life, but I’d lucked my way into a job I was actually super excited about. I felt like I was ready to be done with school, and that the workforce would be a welcome change of pace.
Unfortunately, joining the workforce didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped.
My deep work-related uncertainty set in pretty early. During my first day “work,” I probably got asked at least twenty questions. I knew the answers to approximately zero of them.
