About this listen
Discover the revolutionary antidote to overload and exhaustion.
Have you tried everything to become more productive - but you're still too busy and stressed? That's because the old approaches to productivity just don't work in today's fast-paced, tech-driven workplaces. What does work? Time management is outdated. Attention management is the solution you need.
Attention management is the most essential skill you need to live a life of choice rather than a life of reaction and distraction. It's a collection of behaviors, including focus, mindfulness, control, presence, flow, and other skills, that will support your success. Productivity speaker, trainer, and author Maura Nevel Thomas shows you how to master attention management with practical strategies that make an immediate impact.

Trying to remember a bunch of details and tasks isn't the best use of your brainpower.

Story
In the knowledge economy, your team’s brainpower—their intellect, creativity, learning capacity, and decision-making ability—is the key factor in their success at work. And their scattered focus dilutes that brainpower, hindering your organization’s ability to succeed. Today's "always-on" work culture too often prevents your staff from producing what matters most: ideas, innovation, and meaningful results. How can you and your team be successful when exhaustion and frustration from 24/7 communications, changing priorities, and constant distractions are the norm? Executives must protect their teams (and themselves!) from the high cost of chronic stress and burn-out. To achieve this and improve your company’s results, you must invest in how well you and your teams manage attention. When employees master attention management, they are more successful, engaged, and productive.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

You don't have to be controlled by difficult people! Strange as it may seem, other people are not nearly as committed to our happiness as we are. In fact, sometimes it seems like they’re on a mission to make us miserable! There’s always that one person. The one who hijacks our emotions. The one who seems to thrive on drama. If we could just “fix” that person, everything would be better. But we can’t fix other people. We can only make choices about ourselves.

Jon Birger offers women bold new strategies for finding the one. Backed by research showing that women can win at romance by making the first move with the men of their choice, Birger explains why: It's better to choose than to be chosen; the "play hard to get" method is not only outdated but grounded in bad science; the first move does not have to be a big move; it's time to log off of dating apps and date men you actually know; the workplace can be a terrific place to meet a long-term romantic partner...and more.

A valuable perspective on an important topic !
This book has been so helpful. It contains a plethora of meaningful and useful insights, but more importantly, were the nuggets around sustainable self-management from a holistic perspective ie: emotion + mind + body + (even slightly spirit).
The message of Attention management is more apt for dealing with today’s life reality around focus, than that which classic time-management methodologies cover. Indeed, time management would probably dock the Attention management topic into the realm of discipline and consistency. However, we are emotional-based beings and not machines; so, there is an emotional component to goal achievement, or, the attainment of our significant results, and I believe Attention Management addressed this aspect of the equation in spades.
I am a fan of the works from authors such as Chris Bailey: « Hyperfocus », David Allen : « Getting Things Done » , Brian Tracy « Master your time master your life», HBR’s : « On Managing Yourself », and Benjamin P Hardy's «Your ideal future ». These works look at the management of our focus , time management, self-management, and the science of goal attainment.
What Attention management adds into the mix are insights that helps connect the dots from a holistic (daily habits) perspective; ie: how to manage our "muscle of attention" (which is an essential element to sustainable goal attainment), and this, without abandoning self-care, or, deriding ourselves, in the process.
Awareness is the greatest change agent, and the starting point for achieving changes in our lives is having the desire to do so in the first place; coupled with the willpower, and tools (ie: being mentally equipped with ideas, to bring about the perspective-shifts required to administer the primary antidote described in the book). As one author put it and I paraphrase : Habit is what gets you started, but it is motivation (from experiencing the concrete pay-offs) that keeps you going.
The book has armed me with the tools (a methodology ) to effect this change.
I look forward to compounding the 1% shifts that will result through the practice of Attention management, into a sizable change in the quality of my life experience ( including more progress on my goals, and more consistent attainment of my significant results), moving forward; and thereby reaping the equities of this decision over time.
It's a circa 1.5hr audio book listen, to useful and relevant information delivered by an author with a pleasant voice.
All I can say to that is that : "I am sure glad I did".
Enjoy y'all.
