Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less

by Michael Hyatt

Overview

Everyone gets 168 hours a week, but it never feels like enough, does it? Work gobbles up the lion's share—many professionals are working as much as 70 hours a week—leaving less and less for rest, exercise, family, and friends. You know, all those things that make life great.

Most people think productivity is about finding or saving time. But it's not. It's about making our time work for us. Just imagine having free time again. It's not a pipe dream.

In Free to Focus, New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt reveals to readers nine proven ways to win at work so they are finally free to succeed at the rest of life—their health, relationships, hobbies, and more. He helps readers redefine their goals, evaluate what's working, cut out the nonessentials, focus on the most important tasks, manage their time and energy, and build momentum for a lifetime of success.
