18 minutes : find your focus, master distraction, and get the right things done Cover Image

18 minutes : find your focus, master distraction, and get the right things done / Peter Bregman.

Eighteen minutes (other title)

Bregman, Peter. (Author).

Summary:

Bregman works from the premise that the best way to combat constant and distracting interruptions is to create productive distractions of one's own. Based upon a series of short bite-sized chapters, his approach allows us to safely navigate through the constant chatter of emails, text messages, phone calls, and endless meetings that prevent us from focusing our time on those things that are truly important to us. Mixing first-person insights along with unique case studies, Bregman sprinkles his charming book with pathways which help guide us -- pathways that can get us on the right trail in 18 minutes or less.
