Accomplish more by managing
your time, attention, and energy
This book shares the 25 most powerful productivity tactics I encountered while exploring the science of personal productivity for a year—boiled down from the hundreds I experimented with—and weaves these together with stories from my (admittedly pretty weird) productivity experiments, as well as interviews with the most renowned productivity experts from around the world, from David Allen to Charles Duhigg.
Resources
Here are the free resources I mentioned in the book, plus a roadmap to putting the tactics into practice.
