"The 5 Choices provides the methods to get the right things done,
not try to get everything done, and to feel like you made a meaningful
contribution at the end of the day." --Kevin Turner, former COO of
Microsoft
For fans of Deep Work, Great at Work, and the 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People, The 5 Choices is an essential guide for
understanding productivity and time-management in the 21st century.
Every day brings us a crushing wave of demands: a barrage of texts,
emails, interruptions, meetings, phone calls, tweets, breaking news--not
to mention the high-pressure demands of our jobs--which 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 frustrated.
From the business experts at FranklinCovey, The 5 Choices is an
exploration of modern productivity. It offers powerful insights drawn
from the latest neuroscience research and decades of experience in the
time-management field to help you master your attention and energy
management. The 5 Choices is time management redefined: through five
fundamental choices, it increases the productivity of individuals,
teams, and organizations, and empowers individuals to make selective,
high-impact choices about where to invest their valuable time,
attention, and energy.
The 5 Choices--like "Act on the Important, Don't React to the Urgent"
and "Rule Your Technology, Don't Let It Rule You"--will not only
increase your productivity, but also provide a renewed sense of
engagement and accomplishment. You will quickly find yourself moving
beyond thinking, "I was so busy today, what did I actually accomplish?"
to confidently realizing "I did everything I needed to accomplish
today--and did it meaningfully."
