Every day brings us a crushing wave of demands: a barrage of texts, emails, interruptions, meetings, phone calls, tweets, blogs—not to mention the high pressure challenges of our jobs—that can be overwhelming and exhausting. The sheer number of distractions can threaten our ability to think clearly, make good decisions, and accomplish what matters most, leaving us worn out and unfulfilled.

2. Go for Extraordinary, Don’t Settle for Ordinary
3. Schedule the Big Rocks, Don’t Sort Gravel

“More than just delivering their sentences, Kory Kogon and Adam Merrill (with brief segments read by the third author) use their performances to sell themselves and their solid commitment to their thinking. They sound like experienced teachers—serious about their research, proud of their careers in the FranklinCovey organization, and always clear and inviting. Their suggestions are sophisticated updates of Steven Covey’s time-management writing. Illustrating their words with motivating examples from their consulting work, they describe accessible strategies for managing one’s decision making, attention, and energy—the three ingredients of productivity that we can control in the face of today’s unprecedented distractions. Anchored in the familiar framework of the four-part ‘important/urgent’ grid, this compelling lesson has everything you’ll need to spend more time on what’s really important.”
