![]() ![]() ![]() As an adult who is overwhelmed with distraction, I found the book motivating and easy to read. Chapters address the creation of “flexible focus,” the importance of a healthy body and mind, and the power of human connection, emotion, and structure. Hallowell identifies the underlying reasons why people lose their ability to focus at work, how it affects your focus and productivity, and what are the six most common distractions at work and how to overcome them. The rest of the book is dedicated to learning to train, manage, and maintain your ability to focus. He then explains how to recognize the types of distraction that affect you, and gives a five-point plan to improve your performance. He shows how each of these affects focus and productivity. Hallowell first addresses the six most common distractions at work: electronics, taking on too much work, hopping from idea to idea, worrying, solving others’ problems but not one’s own, and underachieving. Edward Hallowell is an expert on ADHD, but his tips for focus and productivity apply to all of us. ( Harvard Business Review Press $26.00 hardcover $9.10 Kindle)ĭr.
