"A powerful guide to turning ambition into actionâby
focusing not on willpower but on what matters most."âCharles Duhigg,
author of Supercommunicators and The Power of Habit
Setting goals is easy. Following through on them? A whole lot harder.
It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isnât sheer willpower or
the latest productivity hack. Itâs becoming more intentional.
With Intentional, bestselling author Chris Bailey distills a decade
of deep research on productivity to deliver a profound, practical, and
counterintuitive road map to getting things done. Forget extensive to-do lists
and a never-ending workload. To reach your goals, you must structure your daily
actions around whatâs most important to youâand let go of the rest. This way,
getting things done becomes second nature.
Integrating the science of desire, values, and procrastination with the wisdom
of Buddhist monks, Bailey lays out step-by-step strategies for intentional
accomplishment, covering how to:
⢠Structure short-term goals to increase the likelihood of completion
⢠Make unappealing, boring, or frustrating tasks more attractive
⢠Lower the chance of procrastinating on long-term goals
⢠Create a system for tracking progres
⢠Know when a goal isnât for youâand when itâs time to let it go
What matters most to you? Intentional shows that the answer
has the power to unlock not just greater productivity but a deeper and more
satisfying sense of accomplishment.
