Summary
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.

I was expecting more
I had probably very high or too high expectations for the book.
The book is good the fact is that the author and the structure of the book didn't really work for me.

I couldn’t quite get to loving this book but found it very useful nonetheless
It might have been the wrong time for me to read this book but I just didn’t get into it in the same way I do other personal development books. Having said that it does have some very useful tips which I am very grateful for as I’m convinced they will be very useful for me. I think 4 stars is fair as it was certainly good but not perhaps superb

Honestly, I’m so grateful there are people like Chris who devote part of their life to help others. This is an incredible booked packed full of actionable tips to help you use hyper focus and scatter focus correctly. If you’re struggling to find time to do everything, check out this book, it will really help.

Mind-numbingly repetitive
A good message for a lot of work plowing through frustrating repetition. The amount of cotton - or pointless fill, made me forget what pointers to focus on and remember
