Hyperfocus

How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction

Book • 2018

In 'Hyperfocus', Chris Bailey explores the science of attention and provides practical strategies for managing distractions.

The book introduces two key mental modes: hyperfocus, which is intense and deliberate attention for high productivity, and scatterfocus, a creative mode that allows for novel connections and insights.

Bailey offers advice on setting intentions, modifying environments to reduce distractions, controlling motivation, and strategically using both hyperfocus and scatterfocus to enhance productivity and creativity.
