Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction by Chris Bailey

5.0

This was a reread, and I found that, yes yes, this book is a good one to return to periodically to get a refresher on the concepts. It's technically as simple as "put the damn phone down," but understanding why we resist putting the phone down is essential if we want to get better at directing and sustaining our attention. Also, the principle of scatterfocus is one of my favorites — that intentionally letting our minds roam can boost productivity and creativity as well as be restorative in other ways, similar to sleep.
