I'm Cal Newport, and this is Deep Questions.

The show about living and working deeply in a distracted world.

I'm here up in the Deep Work HQ North and Hanover, New Hampshire.

I am joined, as always, by my producer Jesse's holding down the fort down in the

Deep Work HQ South and Tacoma Park, Maryland.

Jesse, it hit the forties last night, temperature-wise.

I'm assuming something similar has not happened down there in DC.

Forties, that's good sleeping weather.

Oh, yeah, open the windows, enjoy the cool, dry air.

I think we're down to, if I'm doing the math right,

two episodes, including this one,

filmed up here at the HQ North.

And then back to my beloved normal Tacoma Park original HQ studio.

I think it's this studio, this episode, next week's episode.

And then we are back in action in person, back at the Batcave.

So I am looking forward to that.

I do have an exciting bit of news to share, Jesse.

So I received recently in the mail an advanced copy of the second version

of my time block planner.

and my existing planner when I got up here a month or so ago.

My plan was I knew this new one was coming.
