Ryan: How would somebody do that in their day-to-day life? What are some practical tips that you could implement right away to make your goals, your life, more fun? Because of that, I’m more conscious of how I spend my time and energy today. If you set a high threshold for what you want to do, the completion rate will be higher. We wanted to study what happens when you make something fun. There are two things you study—satisfaction and performance. Satisfaction is how you felt, performance is how you did. If you want to do something well, the principle is to raise both of those. Raise your satisfaction, but not your performance, and you’re smiling all the way to last place. Raise your performance, but not your satisfaction, and you’re a rich, miserable jerk. So I want to raise both.

This whole book feels like it was written for one reason - to write a book. Ms Jager isn't a productivity expert. She's an academic (as we are told often). She was either given this as an assignment by her publishing house or she decided she needed to write a book and drew the topic out of a hat. This is NOT a helpful book. Sometimes we get discouraged by all the things we need to do. It seems like no matter what we do, it’s impossible to finish everything. The amount of work overwhelms us and we stop halfway. Part 3, "Additional Thoughts and a Conclusion", includes a chapter entitled "The Exception That Proves the Rule: When Failing to Finish is a Good Thing" as well as the chapter "Summing Up", with pivotal examples and information to help you finish everything you start. With the raw outline done, I then broke down each task into smaller tasks, starting with the first one — create outline of the book. I then moved on to the other sections. Having this outline gives me a bird’s eye view of what needs to be done, so that I could plan accordingly. This brings to my next point on resource planning. 3. Budget your time and energy accordingly When we’re all consumed with the details of a project, we can struggle to see the bigger picture or even forget why we’re doing something.Jon: I wanted to study fun because when you ask somebody to tell you the words they think [are associated] with the word “goal,” they think “discipline,” “persistence,” and all these very difficult, negative words. Culturally speaking, we think something has to be difficult for it to count. People tell me, “I’m going to lose weight.” And I go, “That’s great. How are you going to do it?” They’ll say, “I’m going to run.” I go, “Do you like running?” They go, “No, I hate it. That’s how I know it’s good for me.” It’s a good thing to give yourself some breathing space from your project so you can get a new perspective. However, [after getting started,] I find my interest waning and the journey getting stretched to no end. This eventually affects the overall outcome. I would really appreciate if you could share your views how one can overcome this habit of procrastination. This is something that I have struggled with and now that I am starting a new chapter in my life, I would want to set this right and begin this journey being the best that I can be.” — S

Both required so much time and energy from me. This practical business book by an internationally acclaimed time management expert helps listeners understand why they're not finishing projects and what to do about it, including using Dr. Yager's unique F-I-N-I-S-H technique. It also goes beyond a "do this, not that" approach to help you develop a deeper insight into what you should be committing to in the first place! Learn these 10 effective ways that will mean you finish everything you start. 1) Start with a to-do list

8) Embrace some blue-sky thinking

Finishing the book was about my commitment to myself and also to my readers out there who would truly benefit from it. Sightseeing was something I could always do at a separate time – it was not big of a deal. But all this nitty gritty work IS part of what leads you to your beautiful vision in the end. Every little bit you’re doing now counts toward realizing that end vision. It’s as clever as the acronym suggests. Working with this formula, you need to look at whether a goal is: The second tip is to give yourself permission to do a draft version. Meaning there’s no need to get it right the first time. Creating a draft, even if it’s not the best one, is better than if you didn’t do anything at all. Get started, and things will roll on from there. 5. Commit to It How to Finish Everything You Start is based on Dr. Yager's 3+ decades of research on time management plus new interviews and surveys focusing on finishing with more than 242 men and women from throughout the United States and internationally.

The language is pretty easy. You can read along without a lot of breaks and everything has been broken down to the smallest pieces for best level of understanding. The writing style is very to-the-point and doesn’t waver here and there. It genuinely talks about the topic only. The exercises are meant for self-evaluation and makes you think of what you have been doing, what the reasons have been and how you can cure the causes yourself. However, the biggest negative point of the entire book is the repetition of a lot of content and making 5 pointers out of a topic that can be ended in 2 pointers. It’s worth taking a bit of time before jumping into something additional. Careful consideration is key! 4) Choose work that aligns with you When Friendship Hurts written by Jan Yager and has been published by Simon and Schuster this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-05-11 with Self-Help categories.

She discusses the impact of multitasking and distractions on productivity and suggests methods for minimizing interruptions. Yager also highlights the benefits of mindfulness and offers practical exercises to enhance concentration and mental clarity.
