Intentional

From the bestselling author of Hyperfocus, productivity expert Chris Bailey, a new approach to finishing what you start. 'An important new contribution to the genre!' - Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work 'A powerful guide to turning ambition into action' - Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators Most of us have no problem setting goals. We know what we want, and we have a pretty good sense of what it takes to get it. But consistently making progress until we've reached that goal is the hard part. In Intentional, Chris Bailey presents a new and better way to accomplish your goals. It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn't willpower or the latest productivity hack - it's intentionality. Your deepest intentions are your greatest motivating force. By structuring your goals around the things that matter most to you, whether that's feeling secure in your job, having autonomy over your decisions or being in a community, getting things done becomes second nature. Drawing from the latest productivity research and packed full of practical strategies, Intentional will show you how to:Structure goals to increase the likelihood of completionMake unappealing, boring or frustrating tasks more attractive to doLower the chance of procrastinating on long-term goalsCreate a system for tracking progressKnow when a goal isn't for you - and when it's time to let it go.
