The Productivity Project: Accomplishing More by Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy

by Chris Bailey

star4.4

Bailey reports on a year-long self-experiment in which he tested productivity techniques on himself, from meditating 35 hours a week to working 90-hour weeks to watching 296 TED talks in a month, and interviewed leading productivity thinkers. His conclusion is that productivity is not about time management at all but about the joint management of time, attention, and energy, with three being the critical number of daily priorities.
