From author of Hyperfocus and productivity expert Chris Bailey, a new approach to finishing what you start. Most of us have no problem setting goals. We know what we want, and we have a pretty good sense of what it takes to get it. But consistently making progress until we've reached that goal? Now that's the hard part. In Intentional , productivity expert Chris Bailey presents a new and better way to accomplish your goals. It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn't willpower or the latest productivity hack--it's intentionality. Your deepest intentions, says Bailey, are your greatest motivating force. By structuring your goals around the things that matter most to you--whether that's feeling secure in your job, having autonomy over your decisions, or being in community--getting things done becomes second-nature.

Drawing from the latest productivity research, Bailey offers practical strategies for doing just that, showing how to: Structure goals to increase the likelihood of completion Make unappealing, boring, or frustrating tasks more attractive to do Lower the chance of procrastinating on long-term goals Create a system for tracking progress Know when a goal isn't for you--and when it's time to let it go Ultimately, Intentional shows that finishing what you start is more possible than you think.
