Focus and Time: Hyperfocus, the Rule of Three, and Deep Attention with Chris Bailey Apr 12, 2016

Show notes

Chris Bailey turned down lucrative job offers to pursue a lifelong dream—to spend a year performing a deep dive experiment into the pursuit of productivity, a subject he had been enamored with since he was a teenager. After obtaining his business degree, he created a blog to chronicle a year-long series of productivity experiments he conducted on himself, where he also continued his research and interviews with some of the world’s foremost experts, from Charles Duhigg to David Allen. This is his 2nd time on the show. Listen to his 1st episode here.

The Productivity Project—and the lessons Chris learned—are the result of that year-long journey. Among the counterintuitive insights Chris Bailey will teach you:

· slowing down to work more deliberately;

· shrinking or eliminating the unimportant;

· the rule of three;

· striving for imperfection;

· scheduling less time for important tasks;

· the 20 second rule to distract yourself from the inevitable distractions;

· and the concept of productive procrastination.
