在充满干扰的现代世界里，提高生产力的实用手册！

注意力放在哪里，成就就在哪里！

在公司，电脑桌面角落经常亮起的通知、三不五时响起的电话、主管临时交办的任务与同事的喧闹，你真正“专注”的时间有多少？

下班后，来自家人的期待与要求、通讯软体与社群媒体的通知、没追完的剧和对未来的烦恼盘据心中，你真正“休息”的时间有多少？

时间太少、待办事项太多，周遭环境又有很多干扰，

结果我们变得愈来愈忙，什么事都做不好，

该如何解决这个忙碌现代人的梦魇？

生产力专家克里斯·贝利发觉，关键在于，外在环境与内在思绪的干扰，都在争夺我们最有限的资源：注意力。所以，管理好注意力，就是找回工作与生活节奏的关键。而最新的神经科学研究显示，配合生理与大脑运作，可以开启两种最强的注意力模式：极度专注力模式，最有效率地完成工作；分散注意力模式，以新颖的方式发挥创意。

现在，你可以这样做：

【极度专注力模式】

√分类任务，提前避开干扰因素

√进行重要工作前先补充咖啡因

√设定一段关闭网路的时间

√安装阻挡软体运行的应用程式

√选择熟悉、旋律简单的背景音乐

【分散注意力模式】

√至少每90分钟休息一次

√边执行简单任务，边记下脑中思绪

√做重要决策之前，先等一下

√沉浸在可以碰到新的人、事、物的环境

√买便宜的闹钟，不要用手机闹钟

有效掌控注意力，就能提高生产力，变得更有创意，人生更有意义。

Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey is a practical guide to managing your attention – the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life.

In Hyperfocus, you will learn:

- How working fewer hours can increase our productivity

- How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier

- How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired

Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.

In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.

Chris Bailey ran a year-long productivity project where he conducted intensive research, as well as dozens of productivity experiments on himself, to discover how to become as productive as possible. To date, he has written hundreds of articles on the subject and has garnered coverage in the media as diverse as the New York Times, Huffington Post, New York magazine, Harvard Business Review, TED, Fast Company and Lifehacker. The author of The Productivity Project, Chris lives in Ottawa, Ontario, in Canada.
