Free to Focus – Michael Hyatt

Many productivity systems promise to help people get more done, but often the result is simply more work, more stress and less time for what matters. Michael Hyatt, a former chief executive of a major publishing company and a leadership and productivity coach, argues that true productivity is not about doing more, but about doing the right things and creating freedom. In Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less, he lays out a practical framework for achieving that goal.

Hyatt’s system is organized into three steps, each with three parts. The first step is to stop: formulate what you want from productivity, evaluate where your time goes by identifying the work you are passionate about and proficient at, and rejuvenate through sleep, exercise, relationships and rest. The second step is to cut: eliminate unnecessary tasks and commitments, learning to say no gracefully, then automate routine work through templates and technology, and delegate tasks that others can do well. The third step is to act: consolidate your time with an ideal week, designate your most important tasks each day, and activate focus by managing interruptions and distractions.

Along the way, Hyatt introduces tools such as the Freedom Compass, which helps readers identify their Desire Zone, and offers practical worksheets and templates to apply the ideas.

Written in a clear, encouraging style with examples from his own experience and from clients, Free to Focus is a useful guide for professionals, leaders and entrepreneurs who feel overwhelmed and want to reclaim time for their priorities, families and well-being.
