Chris Bailey turned down lucrative job offers to pursue a lifelong dream—to spend a year performing a deep dive experiment into the pursuit of productivity, a subject he had been enamored with since he was a teenager. After obtaining his business degree, he created a blog to chronicle a year-long series of productivity experiments he conducted on himself, where he also continued his research and interviews with some of the world’s foremost experts, from Charles Duhigg to David Allen. Among the experiments that he tackled: Bailey went several weeks with getting by on little to no sleep; he cut out caffeine and sugar; he lived in total isolation for 10 days; he used his smartphone for just an hour a day for three months; he gained ten pounds of muscle mass; he stretched his work week to 90 hours; a late riser, he got up at 5:30 every morning for three months—all the while monitoring the impact of his experiments on the quality and quantity of his work.
�
The Productivity Project—and the lessons Chris learned—are the result of that year-long journey. Among the counterintuitive insights Chris Bailey will teach you:
��������� slowing down to work more deliberately;
��������� shrinking or eliminating the unimportant;
��������� the rule of three;
��������� striving for imperfection;
��������� scheduling less time for important tasks;
��������� the 20 second rule to distract yourself from the inevitable distractions;
��������� and the concept of productive procrastination.
In an eye-opening and thoroughly engaging read, Bailey offers a treasure trove of insights and over 25 best practices that will help you accomplish more.

A Great New Spin On Productivity
By Mike's Reviews
Whether you have researched productivity for years, or you are first dipping your toes into the pool, this book WILL help you. Unlike many business/self-help/productivity books, this is a quick and easy read, and there are useful takeaways on nearly every page. The challenges that Chris suggests at the end of each section are achievable, and will positively impact your life both professionally and personally.
Concepts that may already seem familiar to you will feel new. Concepts that you haven't heard or thought of before will open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about productivity. I've read a lot of books that claim to help you to be more productive, but this book feels different from all of them, and it's already proven to be more effective than most.
Because of Chris Bailey's voice, the flow of the book, and the way in which Chris easily illustrates every single idea that he brings to the table, The Productivity Project will be a game changer for both professionals, and students. I highly recommend it with full confidence that you will both enjoy it, and benefit from it greatly. Five stars.

A book that teaches cleaner, more ROI-focused living in and out of the office
By Lucy Barr
I have to firmly disagree with the first review here--this is not your average productivity book, and while the book draws from the expertise of others and some degree of common sense thinking, that's precisely what makes it so accessible and easy to implement in everyday life. Many of us are "productive" at work while being less organized and ROI-focused in our personal lives, so really Bailey's book is as much for executives as it is any adult, old or young. Like The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Bailey teaches us, in a profound way, to live cleaner, more streamlined lives that allow for attention to the things we care most about. I found his voice and optimism wonderfully refreshing, as if listening to a friend's advice. And for the first time, in Bailey's rendering, I really began to see and practice the benefits of meditation (when before I viewed it as somewhat BS and too challenging to prioritize in my life).
My favorite part of Bailey's narrative was his wisdom on low-return vs. high-return tasks, and focus during optimal periods, as customized to each individual. His emphasis on exercise and nutrition (and his innovative experiments therein, using himself as a guinea pig) are also a fantastic way to see through one's New Year's resolutions.

Productivity in Review
By Kraig Pullam
At the start of 2016, I think it is important to evaluate and explore the level of our productivity in any given arena. Chris Bailey does a stellar job of coaching his readers through such in his newly-released volume "Productivity." In short, this volume is not your average spin on productivity. In a real sense, it is a practicum on how one can and should effectively master the use of their time and time.
Bailey takes a year out of his young life to do an experiment on productivity. What he finds are some astonishing facts about himself, the human race and research that points to how we, as humans, can effectively make the best use of our time, energy and attention. Within the first section of his work, Bailey stresses the importance of discipline and focus by way of the use of meditation. Take note that this is not a Christian or Spiritual Book. However, Bailey highlights an essential element to not only being a person of character and faith; but being grounded requires a time of being centered and focused on the spiritual reality surrounding who we are. In my faith and the dynamics of spiritual formation, I consider this essential in how we work and serve in Christian ministry. As we set our priorities, we are then poised to work smart, knowing that all tasks are not created equal; and learn to identify what is most important.
Bailey contends that productivity is about working deliberately and not, as he terms it, working on ‘autopilot.’ Working deliberately helps you and I to locate priorities in our work, to define the big picture of our tasks and to discern how best we can take control of the obligations at hand. The central pieces of this kind of drive are focus and discipline. As Bailey says: “…productivity has nothing to do with how much you do, and everything to do with how much you accomplish.” (12) Efficiency in our work is no longer enough; it is all about accomplishment. As a strong proponent of daily meditation, Bailey asserts that productive people not only manage their time, but they also manage their attention and their energy well. To this author, the three ingredients of productivity are time, energy and attention; and doing it deliberately and intentionally.
A very important component in this volume is what Bailey terms our Biological Prime Time (BPT). He argues that, by taking a self-assessment in tracking the fluctuations of our own energy levels throughout any given day, we are then poised to take steps to becoming more productive, committing our high-impact tasks to our BPT. As the author stressed, productive people don't just manage their TIME well; they manage their ENERGY and ATTENTION well. Interestingly, if I may apply this to the arenas of relationships or in ministry, we can typically scale our progress in any given relationship or in our spiritual growth in where we assign our energy and attention, as well as our time. In 2016, it should be a general rule of our proverbial thumb not to assign energy to non-impact influences, low-impact thoughts or mundane things that consume our attention. The key point is to spend your time more intelligently and to make every effort to "punctuate your productivity." Generally, it is good to track our time; and, as Bailey contends, when we are aware of how we are spending our time, we are then prepared to make adjustments. I like that he not only gives us the what of maximizing the use of time (after all, most already know they need to manage their time more efficiently); but he walks the reader through the process of doing as such. As this is important to all persons in every station in life, it also applies to how we plan our study time in devotion/meditation, personal growth and time for sermon preparation. Knowing your strong points throughout the day allows you to appropriate and allocate your creativity, sharpness and even vulnerabilities, all that are needed.
The book consists of eight (8) sections. All of them have a different variable; but all of them are simply and overarching of one theme: controlling your mind; redirecting your attention; choosing what you give priority to; getting started on tasks and choosing where you will procrastinate.
Overall, I think the book of overwhelmingly filled with practical principles and tools to prioritize and maximize our productivity; and thus becoming more effective in what we accomplish, short term and long term. Bailey gives a lot of information. I don't think this book is for the faint of heart. In like manner, it is not an easy-read. However, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give this book a 7.5. Again...it is not your typical book on productivity. Therefore, I'd suggest giving it a read!
