De: Chris Bailey

Narrado por: Chris Bailey

Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey is a practical guide to managing your attention – the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life.

'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' – TED

In Hyperfocus, you will learn:

• How working fewer hours can increase our productivity
• How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier
• How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired

Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.

In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.

'The best productivity plans call for strategy, not just hacks or tactics – When you read this book, get ready to do your most important work!' – Chris Guillebeau, author of Side Hustle.

This book is an insightful and practical guide for anyone seeking to improve their ability to focus and be productive in today's fast-paced world. Bailey is an expert in productivity and time management, and he shares his research and personal experience to provide readers with a comprehensive approach to harnessing the power of focus.

The book is divided into two main sections: Hyperfocus and Scatterfocus. The first section is all about how to cultivate a state of deep concentration and get the most out of our minds. Bailey explores the science behind focus and provides practical tips on how to set up our environment and routines to help us achieve a state of hyperfocus. He also discusses how to manage distractions, deal with interruptions, and avoid procrastination.

The second section of the book focuses on scatterfocus, which is a more relaxed and creative state of mind that allows our brains to wander and explore new ideas. Bailey explains how to balance hyperfocus with scatterfocus to avoid burnout and how to cultivate scatterfocus to boost creativity and productivity.

One of the strengths of Hyperfocus is its practicality. Bailey provides a range of tools and techniques that readers can use to improve their focus and productivity, such as the Pomodoro technique, mindfulness meditation, and the Eisenhower Matrix. He also includes real-life examples and case studies to show how these techniques can be applied in different situations.

Overall, Hyperfocus is an engaging and informative read that offers practical advice on how to improve focus and productivity. It is well-written, well-researched, and full of actionable insights that readers can apply in their daily lives. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their ability to focus and get more done in less time.
