Hyperfocus

Chris Bailey

You have two attentional gears. Hyperfocus gets important work done; scatterfocus connects ideas and plans ahead. Managing when you use each is the whole game.

A book about attention management in two halves: "hyperfocus," the deliberate practice of directing all your attention at one important thing, and "scatterfocus," the equally deliberate practice of letting your mind wander to spark creativity and plan.
