Unlocking A More Productive You Charlie Hugh-Jones

Too often, success comes at the expense of our health and our most valuable relationships - it's not often a cost we consciously choose to pay either - it just happens. That's pretty much the story of my early "success". Productivity was the foundation of that success in the early part of a career where everything was judged by the six minute unit; I became really good at delivering for my clients and my employer, outworking, outsmarting and outproducing my peers. I became insanely productive and myopically focused on what I thought would get me to partnership in a top law firm quicker than anyone else. I thought that would benefit my family but I was not necessarily paying attention to what mattered most. True productivity isn't getting more done - it is getting more of what matters most, done. And it's doing that without the stress, overwhelm and anxiety that our hyper-connected, always-on, intensely demanding world often provokes in us. And that's what this book will help you do. In this book I explain my three core principles of productivity: - The Power of "No" - Don't Manage Time, Manage Your Energy - Harness Ritual and Routine, Don't Be A Slave To Them And then I give you a set of proven and very practical tools and strategies to implement each one of those principles in your daily life to Unlock a More productive You!"
