How do you get to do deep work?

What are your habits, what is your setup? How much time of deep work you get in a week? Do you have daily chunks or use some particular days for it?

I rarely had the benefit of deep work but I suspect it's a combination of following items:

- Challenging work, interesting enough to hook up someone for at least a few hours non-stop

- Ownership

- Not many interruptions

I haven't read it but think that the book "Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World" might be interesting for you.
