Book Synopsis:
Setting goals is easy. Finishing them is the challenge.
In 'Intentional '--productivity expert Chris Bailey reveals the surprising truth: willpower isn’t enough. The secret to accomplishing your goals lies in being more intentional. Bailey distills a decade of deep research on productivity to deliver a profound, practical, and counterintuitive roadmap to getting things done. Forget endless to-do lists and a never-ending workload. To reach your goals, you have to structure your daily actions around what’s most important to you—and let go of the rest.
This way, getting things done becomes second nature.
Integrating the science of desire, values, and procrastination with the wisdom of Buddhist monks, Bailey empowers us to build a life of true purpose and accomplishment. He offers practical strategies for following through on our goals, including how to:
- Structure goals for maximum completion
- Make unappealing, boring, or challenging tasks more attractive to tackle
- Lower the chance of procrastinating on long-term goals
- Create a framework for tracking intentions and 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!!
