This new, revised edition of Hyperfocus is a practical guide to managing your attention: the most powerful resource you have to get things done, be more creative, and live a meaningful life.

Our attention has never been more overtaxed than it is today. Our brains strain to multitask, as we fill every moment of our lives to the limit with mindless distractions.
The latest neuroscientific research reveals that our brain has two powerful modes of action when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the basis for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which allows us to connect ideas in novel ways.

By reading this book, you will identify and deal with the four key types of distraction and interruption; establish a clear physical and mental environment in which to work; manage motivation and work fewer hours to be more productive; learn how to take intentional breaks and learn when to pay attention and when to let your mind wander.

Reviews:
"Hyperfocus does an admirable job of unpacking the realities, pitfalls, and best practices for managing the subtle but ever-present world of our conscious attention. We can all improve how, when, and what we focus on. This is an extraordinary and insightful research-based report whose insights will help us achieve greater satisfaction in our lives. Bravo, Chris."
―DAVID ALLEN, author of Getting Things Done

"Being more productive doesn't mean managing your time; it means focusing your attention. I'd tell you more about that, but I lost my train of thought. Fortunately, this engaging book is here to help. Chris Bailey offers practical, data-driven insights on sharpening your focus, as well as finding the right moments to disperse it."
