About this listen

This practical business book by an internationally acclaimed time management expert helps listeners understand why they're not finishing projects and what to do about it, including using Dr. Yager's unique F-I-N-I-S-H technique. It also goes beyond a "do this, not that" approach to help you develop a deeper insight into what you should be committing to in the first place!

The book is divided into three parts. Part 1, "Causes", begins with a provocative chapter entitled "The Epidemic of Unfinished Everything and Its Consequences." Chapter 2 explores 21 behaviors, beliefs, and bad habits that might be at the root of not finishing. The remaining chapters in this part explore specific causes of unfinished tasks including "Having Too Much to Do at Once", "Dealing with Procrastination", and "Having an Unrealistic or No Deadline".

Part 2, "Cures," probes such remedies as "Using F-I-N-I-S-H", "To-Do Lists That Work", "Learning to Say No", and more.

Part 3, "Additional Thoughts and a Conclusion", includes a chapter entitled "The Exception That Proves the Rule: When Failing to Finish is a Good Thing" as well as the chapter "Summing Up", with pivotal examples and information to help you finish everything you start.

A selected bibliography with a list of cited works, resources section, and appendix of useful supporting materials complete this time-saving book that will help you to get more done.

How to Finish Everything You Start is based on Dr. Yager's 3+ decades of research on time management plus new interviews and surveys focusing on finishing with more than 242 men and women from throughout the United States and internationally.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Will buy the physical copy as well

Excellent tips, great flow though there is a lot of repetitiveness but this is to show how to use the tips given. Will be buying the physical copy too.

Practical steps about improving the focus and finishing the tasks

It would be more helpful to have various examples and use cases, outside of publishing specifics of finishing tasks. Plus I found it difficult to follow this narrator.
