Intentional

From the bestselling author of Hyperfocus and productivity expert Chris Bailey, a new approach to finishing what you start.

'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' – TED

Most of us have no problem setting goals. We know what we want, and we have a pretty good sense of what it takes to get it. But consistently making progress until we’ve reached that goal is the hard part.

In Intentional, productivity expert Chris Bailey presents a new and better way to accomplish your goals. It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn’t willpower or the latest productivity hack— it’s intentionality. Your deepest intentions are your greatest motivating force. By structuring your goals around the things that matter most to you, whether that’s feeling secure in your job, having autonomy over your decisions, or being in community, getting things done becomes second nature.

Drawing from the latest productivity research, Intentional offers practical strategies for doing just that, showing you how to:

• Structure goals to increase the likelihood of completion
• Make unappealing, boring, or frustrating tasks more attractive to do
• Lower the chance of procrastinating on long-term goals
• Create a system for tracking progress
• Know when a goal isn’t for you — and when it’s time to let it go

Finishing what you start is more possible than you think.
