When you have read this book, get ready to do your most important work!
― Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup, The Art of Non-Conformity, and The Happiness of Pursuit

“Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction” is an essential guide for anyone looking to enhance their focus and productivity in today’s attention-fragmented world. Chris Bailey, a renowned productivity expert, presents a comprehensive framework for managing your most precious resource: your attention.

This book is about mastering two mental modes:

  1. Hyperfocus – A deeply concentrated state that allows you to be incredibly productive on a single task
  2. Scatter-focus – A more relaxed, diffuse way of thinking that enhances creativity and helps you plan


Readers will learn:

• How to quickly and easily get into a hyper-focused state
• Techniques to sustain concentration for extended periods
• Methods to eliminate both external and internal distractions
• Ways to structure your environment and schedule for optimal focus
• How to use scatter-focus to solve problems and generate new ideas
• Strategies to recharge your mental batteries and avoid burnout

Bailey backs up his advice with fascinating research from psychology and neuroscience, while keeping the tone engaging and practical. He provides scores of actionable tips, from the basics of good sleep and nutrition to advanced techniques like “positive procrastination.

“Hyperfocus” isn’t just about getting more done—it’s about living a more intentional life. By mastering your attention, you’ll not only become more efficient but also experience greater satisfaction in your work and personal life.
