I'm Cal Newport and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating a deep life in a distracted world. I'm here on my Deep Work HQ, joined as always by my producer Jesse. What did you have going on when I came in today, Jesse? It looked like golf? Is that what you were watching?

Yep, golf was on. It's masters time, right? No cell phones allowed at the masters. Is that for like everyone attending? Oh, interesting.

So if you're going to the masters, you gotta put it in a bag or something when you get in. Oh, I love that. That's cool. So you're just like outside in nature, uh, watching people play golf. So they have like stretchers, I assume, for when people pass out from boredom.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
