5 Books That Will Help You Be More Productive

5 Books That Will Help You Be More Productive

5 Books That Will Help You Be More Productive

I am fanatical about productivity. In fact, it’s one of my most passionate topics to speak about. The reason? Because I have found that if you want to maximize your leadership and potential, you must be a student of productive tips, tricks, and tactics. 

Many of my coaching clients have challenges directly related to a lack of being more productive in what they do. As a result, their organization, focus, and systems seem out-of-whack with ever-increasing demands, which can cause chaos at their workplace and even home life. 

More than anything, I want people to feel empowered by their ability to create order from chaos because that really is where true success lies – not just trying harder but smarter too. 

It’s been my experience that the biggest challenge for people is to create a productive system where they can be successful. I see this problem in many of my coaching sessions with clients from all different industries. So one of the things I do in my sessions is help identify your individual strengths and weaknesses in the context of productivity–then you can better understand yourself, which will help you work more productively. I also try to expose those I coach to the best practices and resources to help them get more productive. 

I can’t connect one-on-one with all of you (though I wish I could) and help create your productivity system. But I know that many people are looking for ways to be more productive, so I want to share with you some of the best books on productivity that have helped me. They’ve given me new insight into how I can improve my success in life and business.

So, if you’re interested, here is a list of some great reads for your consideration. Remember, leaders are readers…so become a student of productivity. 

Here are some of my favorite productivity books:

1) Free To Focus by Michael Hyatt

2) Procrastinate on Purpose by Rory Vaden 

3) Deep Work by Cal Newport 

4) Getting Things Done by David Allen

5) The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey
