The Productivity Project

Produktbeschreibung

A FRESH, RELATABLE AND ENTERTAINING EXPLORATION OF A TOPIC THAT CONCERNS ALL OF US: HOW TO BEST MANAGE OUR TIME, ENERGY AND ATTENTION

After obtaining his business degree, Chris Bailey created a blog to chronicle a year-long series of productivity experiments he conducted on himself. Among the tricks, hacks and methods that he tested out: taking a siesta every day; cutting out caffeine and sugar; going on little to no sleep; living in isolation for ten days; using his smartphone for just an hour a day; becoming a total slob; getting up at 5:30 every morning - all the while monitoring the impact of his experiments on the quality and quantity of his work.

The Productivity Project is the result of that year-long journey. Here are some of the many counterintuitive insights Chris Bailey will teach you:

· slowing down to work more deliberately · shrinking or eliminating the unimportant · striving for imperfection · scheduling less time for important tasks · distracting yourself from distractions · the concept of productive procrastination.

In this eye-opening and thoroughly engaging read, Bailey offers a treasure trove of over 25 best practices that will help you accomplish more at work and at home, and become more awesome.
