"Business psychologist Tony Crabbe outlines a four-step approach to combating one of the modern life's great problems: being too busy. Divided into four sections -- Mastery, Differentiation, Engagement and Momentum -- the author shows how to switch from managing time to managing attention, how to transition toward a career strategy that doesn't hinge on productivity, how to think differently about success by re-engaging with what matters, and how to create the impetus, energy, and clarity to put all these changes into effect. Why we're getting it wrong at the moment and to develop a fresh new approach to taking back our lives from chaotic outside forces"--Provided by publisher.
