Book
Intentional : how to finish what you start / Chris Bailey.
"Most of us have no problem setting goals. We know what we want, and we have a pretty good sense of what it takes to get it. But consistently making progress until we've reached that goal? Now that's the hard part. In Intentional, productivity expert Chris Bailey presents a new and better way to accomplish your goals. The secret to finishing what you start isn't willpower or the latest productivity hack -- it's intentionality. Your deepest intentions, says Bailey, are your greatest motivating force. By structuring your goals around the things that matter most to you -- whether that's feeling secure in your job, having autonomy over your decisions or being in community -- getting things done becomes second nature. Drawing from the latest productivity research, Bailey offers practical strategies for getting things done. Ultimately, Follow Through shows that finishing what you start is more possible than you think"-- Provided by publisher.

From Chris Bailey, productivity expert and author of How to Calm Your Mind, comes a new approach to finishing what you start.
Setting goals is easy. Finishing them is the challenge.
In Intentional, productivity expert Chris Bailey reveals the surprising truth: willpower isnât enough. The secret to accomplishing your goals lies in being more intentional. Bailey distills a decade of deep research on productivity to deliver a profound, practical, and counterintuitive roadmap to getting things done. Forget endless to-do lists and a never-ending workload. To reach your goals, you have to structure your daily actions around whatâs most important to youâand let go of the rest. This way, getting things done becomes second nature.
Integrating the science of desire, values, and procrastination with the wisdom of Buddhist monks, Bailey empowers us to build a life of true purpose and accomplishment. He offers practical strategies for following through on our goals, including how to:- Structure goals for maximum completion
- Make unappealing, boring, or challenging tasks more attractive to tackle
- Lower the chance of procrastinating on long-term goals
- Create a framework for tracking intentions and progress
- Know when a goal isnât for youâand when itâs time to let it go
Finishing what you start is more possible than you think.
