I was blessed to be able to work in the tremendous country of Australia for a couple of years on the Olympics, but I came close to being buried there.I almost drowned.I enjoyed body surfing, but because I was a tall guy, I needed to go out relatively far to decrease the chance a wave would slam me into the ocean floor. I was cautious, staying between the flags on Maroubra Beach (where I loved the large waves). However, after swimming from the shore a bit one time, when I looked back I was no longer between the flags and much further out than I expected. A riptide had “assisted” me.No matter how hard I tried to get back, I was getting no closer to the beach. Those gigantic waves I loved were pounding me, especially when I finally gave up on my male ego and raised my hands so the lifeguards would see, and save, me.But they didn’t see, or save, me. All raising my hand did was bring me closer to drowning. I was spent.Praise God, a few body board surfers came within shouting distance, and I yelled, “I am not going to make it.” The body board one of them lent me is why I can share this story today.Why this apparently unconnected story in a book review?At work, school, or otherwise in life, do you feel like you can never get ahead of all the tasks you have to accomplish? Like you’ve been pulled out so far, that you can never reach the shore accomplishment-wise? Battered and soon to drown unless you somehow figure out how to swim harder and faster? Like raising your hand for help does no good? (I remember one case where, when I mentioned to my boss I was a bit overwhelmed, her immediate request was for me to create a list of everything I was doing. Hand raised, wave dunking me under.)Well, if you feel like that, Michael Hyatt’s Free to Focus is the body board that can save you and get you to shore every single day.With a sense of accomplishment.Hyatt’s book is the right combination of facts, inspiration, and practical advice. Facts that show you why you need to change how you work. Stories and quotes that will inspire you to try.And practical advice on how to.It is a system he had to develop for himself, since:“My problem back then was doing to much-mostly by myself. Later I realized focusing on everything means focusing on nothing.”We are scattered.And drowning.We can stop both from happening.Without going into specifics (that’s what the book is for):“If productivity isn’t fundamentally about improving efficiency and increasing success, then what is the goal? Why should we bother? That brings us to the real objective, and Free to Focus’s underlying foundation: productivity should free you to pursue what’s most important to you. The goal, the true objective of productivity, should be freedom...”Not just trying to squeeze more work in. Not measuring success on success. Instead, focusing on what is important. To you. True success will follow.I received a pre-release electronic copy to review, but I was so impressed I pre-ordered hardcover copies for boss and myself. (Don’t tell him, it’s a surprise.) I will be getting more coworkers copies and discussing it with my peers and my team.It’s that good.As an avid user of Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus Planner, it didn’t surprise me his book would be so useful, and it has encouraged me to start leveraging the planner more fully. If you are drowning at work, don’t swim harder or raise your hand for help. Grab this body board. Apply its advice. You won’t regret it. The newest offering from productivity guru Michael Hyatt is Free to Focus: A total productivity system to achieve more by doing less. Based on his popular (costly) “Free to Focus” course, this book distills 30+ years of experience and experimentation into a practical self-management intervention. Yes, it is a multi-component behavioral intervention, not merely a book. The components include the book, the links to worksheets (with examples), and the suggestion to acquire accessories such as a physical planner. It is very organized and logical, actionable, and practical. The book ads context to the principles designed into the Full Focus Planner (also by Michael Hyatt), yet remains agnostic with respect to what planner you use. In fact, it is a book-length explanation and guide to how using a physical planner can be incorporated into a personal productivity system.Instead of summarizing the book (there will be hundreds of reviews because Michael Hyatt is a marketing guru in addition to his productivity expertise), I will provide some comments based on my experience with the Full Focus Planner and background as a research psychologist.Many psychological principles are embedded in the book, such as the importance of articulating a clear purpose for improving self-control and self-discipline (which is rooted in value choices that come from purpose). Michael also seems to understand that self-discipline is mediated through habits and not willpower. The book articulates some aspects of ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) such as making a commitment to a productivity vision rooted in personal values and accepting your personal situation for what it is. It includes “envisioning a better future” which has been effective in self-management interventions. The actionable, practical nature of the system promotes a problem-solving focus, which characterizes effective behavioral interventions. There is an extended discussion of limiting beliefs and liberating truths, which is a key feature of cognitive behavioral therapy.The concept of implementation intentions is introduced, which boils down to pre-deciding an “if-then” strategy for handling distractions (e.g., requests to engage in fake work). The advice to eliminate, automate, and delegate is consistent with contemporary systems thinking for productivity. It also has some “paradoxical interventions” (aka reverse-psychology) baked-in, such as the suggestion to limit yourself to only three big tasks per day. In general, the book is fairly anchored in contemporary science and doesn’t have the “made up” feel of some alleged self-help books. True, there will never be a randomized clinical trial of Free to Focus, but so what. When a multi-component intervention is derived from research and experience, and when nothing appears to contradict science, it is far more likely to work than an approach which seems unaware of the literature on productivity and basic psychological principles. I’m not saying Michael knew he incorporated all these principles, although he does cite research when applicable. Rather, pushing the book through my “psychologist” grid detected a long list of valid behavioral principles that lend credibility to the system Michael designed and described.For criticisms, some readers will find the book very aspirational with respect to how much freedom they can attain given their life and work circumstances. Still, it’s pretty realistic and emphasizes accepting limitations instead of ignoring or denying them. Also, the self-assessments (e.g., the rejuvenation self-assessment) have probably not been evaluated for reliability or validity, so the psychometric properties are not known. Maybe they are good assessments, but maybe not. They should be considered “for educational purposes” and not intended to accurately measure anything.We would all do well to engage in “meta-cognition” from time to time, which means thinking about why we do what we do and how it all works (i.e., thinking about thinking). We are very poor at knowing how much we know, perceiving the passage of time or how long things will take, deciding what to do, avoiding entangling distractions, and so on. Free to Focus is a multi-component behavioral self-management intervention that uses meta-cognition to allow more accurate reflection on how we work and live, with the goal and tools to modify our priorities, schedules, and habits so that we become more productive at our top priorities.
