About this listen
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.

For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task - but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life. Eat That Frog! shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Immer mehr Menschen fühlen sich überfordert von immer mehr To-dos und immer weniger Zeit.

In seinem Hörbuch liefert Chris Bailey einen praktischen Weg, um Aufmerksamkeit gezielt zu bündeln. Er zeigt, wie man sich eine produktivere Umgebung schafft und wie man lernt, Prioritäten richtig zu setzen. Die Kunst dabei ist es, sich im richtigen Moment zu fokussieren oder aber, wenn es nötig ist, den Geist schweifen zu lassen.

Story
Immer mehr Menschen fühlen sich überfordert von immer mehr To-dos und immer weniger Zeit. In der Konsequenz wird es immer schwieriger, sich darauf zu konzentrieren, Aufgaben zufriedenstellend und effizient zu einem Ende zu bringen. In seinem Hörbuch liefert Chris Bailey einen praktischen Weg, um Aufmerksamkeit gezielt zu bündeln. Er zeigt, wie man sich eine produktivere Umgebung schafft und wie man lernt, Prioritäten richtig zu setzen. Die Kunst dabei ist es, sich im richtigen Moment zu fokussieren oder aber, wenn es nötig ist, den Geist schweifen zu lassen.

Story
The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint of laws to break us free from the shackles of an ordinary life. It makes a case that everything we know about the world is shaped by conditioning and habit. And thus, most people live their lives based on limiting rules and outdated beliefs about pretty much everything—love, work, money, parenting, sex, health, and more—which they inherit and pass on from generation to generation.

Great book! Very useful tools
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.
