Where do you watch MNF in England? Or have you converted to the "real" football, and in that case, who do you support? I hope you cheer for Leicester, but only if you pronounce it lie-cess-ter. (Sorry I forgot the IPA you taught me. It was over ten years ago after all.)

I loved Deep Work and it got me into all of your books, and I've loved them all. What do you recommend for people who have very little control over their hours? I'm a secondary school teacher and while in theory my prep periods are predictable it's so hard to preserve them for something meaningful...there's always another handout to photocopy or an urgent conversation to have with a colleague or supervisor. I've experimented (unsuccessfully) with getting up super early in the morning for this. Do you have any advice about how to maintain a healthy balance of deep and shallow work when the best I can do is get 60-90 minutes per morning, if I'm able to wake up by 5am?
