Writing about this book is akin to summoning me here 😉
Great article. I have been following Cal Newport's books and podcasts for a while. After reading this one I was writing such a long comment that I'll turn it into a post :)
I don't remember what Deep Work had to say about doing a detox. But Cal Newport just proposes this in some of his latest books, I think "Digital Minimalism". Not as a compensating behavior once a week, but as something to do for a month and then find what to add back to your life and what to permanently remove.

We need more people to adopt these principles!
Maybe I mixed a bit with digital minimalism, I read both of them couple of years ago, so maybe the detox advice was from there 😅
I hope adoption of those practices will increase in upcoming years.. so far I haven’t seen it around me :/
Same on my side, hard to adopt when working with people. I think it has to be bottom-up.
We all work in this way individually until the point we decide to change our collaboration mechanisms
