MY NEW BOOK: INTENTIONAL

Setting goals is easy. Following through on them? A whole lot harder.

It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn’t sheer willpower or the latest productivity hack. It’s becoming more intentional. With my new book Intentional, I distill a decade of deep research on productivity to deliver a profound, practical, and counterintuitive road map to getting things done.
