About this audiobook
Get more done and get your life back.
Many professionals work as much as seventy hours a week, leaving little time for rest, exercise, family, and friends. Work is invading their personal life.
The common understanding of productivity has failed these professionals. Most think productivity is just about getting more done at a faster speed. But it's not.
Productivity is about getting the right things done.
New York Times Bestselling author, Michael Hyatt, has created a total productivity system that's much more than endless box checking. Proven by over 25,000 professionals, this system helps overwhelmed leaders achieve what matters most so they can succeed at both work and life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book really helped to increase my focus, which increased my productivity!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book gives great advice, but it's nothing new. I do like the idea of theming your days/parts of each day.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A book that details actionable steps to take to encourage a lifestyle of productivity. The content is solid and easy to digest. I will definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The best and much needed wake up call was identifying my backstage and onstage tasks! It’s humbling to realize how confusing it is to categorize tasks when they are all just as important. Backstage is preparation and onstage is where all the action happens - what you are paid to do!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5With so many actionable steps, this book has changed the way I view and organize my time to achieve things I never thought I could. Thank you!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I learned so many new ways of putting my life together! This audiobook introduces the high level view of organization to the low level daily Big 3. I was so excited that I have ordered a Full Focus Planner! By the way, I’ve used this method for a week and it’s increased my productivity!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A really enjoyable book full of practical strategies, and wisdom
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best self development book I have come across..
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is perfect compliment to other productivity books and takes it a step further with actionable things to do, especially for business owners.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely the best book for productivity. Michael is so detailed, giving the actual steps to have more time and use it more wisely. Definitely for those in the office workplace but can be applied to blue collar and working at home. Overall anyone can use this. You can tell he cares.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I’ve read all of Michael Hyatt’s previous works so I was looking forward to reading this. If you are a regular listener to his podcast and reader of his blog, there isn’t anything new in this book. But that’s not a critique. If you buy into Hyatt’s method of productivity, this is the book you give to friends and colleagues to explain his methods, without them having to listen to hours of podcasts.
It’s a good book that has surmised all of Hyatt’s advice in an easy to follow guide. It’s a must read for anyone that feels bogged down in work
