Free to Focus

Book • 2019
In 'Free to Focus,' Michael Hyatt presents a comprehensive productivity system designed to help readers manage their time and energy more effectively.

The book emphasizes the importance of focus, outlining a three-phase approach: Stop (formulate, evaluate, rejuvenate), Cut (eliminate non-essentials), and Act (build momentum).

Hyatt introduces the 'Freedom Compass,' which categorizes tasks into zones such as the Desire Zone, Drudgery Zone, Distraction Zone, and Disinterest Zone, to help readers prioritize tasks that align with their passions and skills.

The book aims to help professionals achieve a better work-life balance by doing more of what they love and less of what they don't.
