FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ESSENTIALISM COMES A GUIDE TO MAKING THE MOST IMPORTANT TASKS EFFORTLESS

The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism, says, there is a third alternative. In Effortless, he offers practical strategies for making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. Honed over the better part of a decade, these strategies include:

• Asking 'What Step Can I Remove?' (accomplish more, in fewer steps)
• Having the Courage to Be Rubbish (prioritize progress over perfection)
• Deciding What 'Done' Looks Like (don't keep running after you pass the finish line)

**The instant Sunday Times bestseller** What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts? Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny. Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count. 'Life is finite. You don't have to fit everything in...

Research has indicated that busy managers are often so busy 'putting out fires' that they feel overwhelmed and therefore find it difficult to accomplish the strategic elements of their role. They frequently end up doing things themselves (even sometimes taking over operational tasks from direct reports) because they feel it is just easier and quicker than telling or showing someone else what needs to be done. And sometimes have little confidence in the competence and ability of staff to successfully problem solve or make effective decisions. Those who receive effective coaching develop increased awareness and are more prepared to take responsibility. In the longer term this develops qualities such as self belief and confidence which actually leads to improvements in competence (in those being coached). And therefore a reduction in stress for the coaching manger. This book provides practical ways for managers to develop the potential of those they manage by adopting a simple coaching approach.

A practical guide to managing your attention–the most powerful resource you have to get stuff done, become more creative, and live a meaningful life

Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. Many of us recognize that our brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, we feel compelled to do so anyway while we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless distraction. Hyperfocus provides profound insights into how you can best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity throughout the day.

The most recent neuroscientific research reveals that our brain has two powerful modes that can be unlocked when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the foundation for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which enables us to connect ideas in novel ways. Hyperfocus helps you access each of the two mental modes so you can concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately every day.

Chris Bailey examines such topics such as:

• identifying and dealing with the four key types of distraction and interruption;
• establishing a clear physical and mental environment in which to work;
• controlling motivation and working fewer hours to become more productive;
• taking time-outs with intention;
• multitasking strategically; and
• learning when to pay attention and when to let your mind wander wherever it wants to.

By transforming how you think about your attention, Hyperfocus reveals that the more effectively you learn to take charge of it, the better you’ll be able to manage every aspect of your life.

Watching online videos, buying courses, attending conferences, or using the latest app may give you a short-term business boost, but these aren't the answers to unlocking extraordinary and lasting results.

Featuring a unique seven-step system and insights from entrepreneurs and successful small-business owners, this guide shares the secrets you need to support your goals and create the mastery that will change your business-and your life.
