Editorial reviews

We hear a lot about the “attention economy,” with sundry social networks and other cultural phenomena constantly vying for a share of our time. Goal-setting and productivity expert Michael Hyatt is here to tell you we’re actually in the midst of a “distraction economy,” ruled by “the tyranny of the urgent.” In this fast-paced listen, he helps you develop techniques to determine what really matters and is worthy of your attention and effort. Perhaps the best part about Free to Focus: listening to it feels a lot like a “brain-pick” advice session over coffee with an empathetic, relatable, and very knowledgeable friend.

Publisher's Summary

The revolutionary productivity system trusted by more than 25,000 professionals. Get more done and get your life back.  

Many professionals work as many as 70 hours a week, leaving little time for rest, exercise, family, and friends. Work is invading their personal life. The common understanding of productivity has failed these professionals. 

Most think productivity is just about getting more done at a faster speed. But it's not. Productivity is about getting the right things done.  

New York Times best-selling author Michael Hyatt has created a total productivity system that's much more than endless box checking. Proven by more than 25,000 professionals, this system helps overwhelmed leaders achieve what matters most so they can succeed at both work and life.   

In his latest audiobook, Free to Focus, you'll discover how to:

  • Redefine your work so it works for you 
  • Filter your tasks and commitments 
  • Cut out the nonessentials 
  • Eliminate interruptions and distractions 
  • Set boundaries that protect your focus and drive results 
  • Leverage your time and energy for maximum productivity 
  • Build momentum for a lifetime of success  

In Free to Focus, you'll learn the three-step system to achieve more while doing less.

Good overview but not for the advanced user

There are good parts of this and I like the Stop/Cut/Act framework. Maybe I would have gotten more out of it reading rather than listening, but I found it didn’t add much to existing productivity literature. If you’re already familiar with GTD and the Eisenhower matrix, you won’t find that much new here.
