That's fine. If you have your own system or motivations for focusing, you don't really need any of these blog posts anyway.
My point was that it's important to recognize that "This doesn't work for me" isn't equivalent to "This doesn't work for anyone."
In this case, the Deep Work concept and associated writings really do work for a lot of people. If they don't work for individuals, that's fine too, but it's not really productive to try to detract from the material without proposing a better alternative.
Also, no one will dispute that there is a lot of questionable or bad self-help material out there, but that doesn't mean that you should immediately discredit and disregard 100% of it. If your skepticism heuristic is so sensitive that everything gets dismissed before you even get into reading it, you're going to throw the good out with the bad.
