In 'The 4 Disciplines of Execution', authors Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling provide a framework for organizations to achieve their most important goals. The book outlines four disciplines: focusing on the wildly important, acting on the lead measures, keeping a compelling scoreboard, and creating a cadence of accountability. These disciplines help teams and individuals stay focused and motivated to execute their strategies effectively.
In 'Feel-Good Productivity,' Dr. Ali Abdaal challenges the conventional notion that productivity is about hard work and discipline. Instead, he argues that the secret to productivity is feeling good. Drawing on decades of psychological research, Abdaal introduces the three hidden 'energisers' that underpin enjoyable productivity, the three 'blockers' to overcome procrastination, and the three 'sustainers' to prevent burnout. The book includes inspiring stories from founders, Olympians, and Nobel-winning scientists and provides simple, actionable changes to make work more enjoyable and sustainable. Abdaal's approach focuses on cultivating a deeper energy for work, balancing well-being with productivity, and enjoying the journey.
