Do not settle for basic understanding. Get a deep understanding of the topic at hand. Do not take anything at face value. Always do the work and delve deeper.
The journal question:
Am I doing deep work?
As superficial as it sounds, I find am always doing work particularly at work. With my job, it is not enough to have a basic understanding. I have to be able to explain methods to people (the public) and dumb down complicated methods into an easy understandable way.
Outside of work, there are occasions when a topic piques my interest enough that I will go through an obsessive phase with it. Once I understand it and/or get bored with it, I move on. Most of the time, I take those lessons with me and others not so much.
