About this ebook

The international publishing phenomenon that teaches you how to be more productive and recharge your brain in a world that seems designed to distract you at every turn.

The ongoing battle for our attention is one of the biggest challenges we face.

Overflowing inboxes, colleagues at your desk with endless questions, and most importantly, a digital world that is dominating your life with an infinite supply of stimuli designed to suck you in. How can you achieve your goals amid such chaos without losing yourself to distraction?

In the international bestseller Focus On-Off, focus experts Mark Tigchelaar and Oscar de Bos show how attention works on a neurological level, describing the four ‘‘concentration leaks’’ that disrupt focus and offering accessible tips, tricks, and life hacks to help plug them, including:
  • the surprising benefits of fidgeting
  • multi-tasking and task-switching to your advantage
  • how and why to reduce your screen time
  • a guide for getting to inbox zero
  • the important difference between targeted and loose attention, and how to switch between them
  • and much more!

Packed with insights and practical advice, Focus On-Off gives you the tools to master your focus, resist burnout, and get more done.
