Two Awesome Hours reveals how to use science-based strategies to tap into your abilities to efficiently accomplish your daily tasks.
Feeling overwhelmed with work and life demands? Rushing, multitasking, or relying on fancy devices and apps won''t help. The answer is to create the conditions for two awesome hours of peak productivity per day.
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, Josh Davis, director of research at the NeuroLeadership Institute explains clearly that our brains and bodies operate according to complex biological needs that, when leveraged intelligently, can make us incredibly effective. From what and when we eat, to when we tackle tasks or disengage—how we plan our activities has a huge impact on performance. Davis shows us how we can create the conditions for two awesome hours of effective mental performance by:
* Recognizing when to effectively flip the switch on our automatic thinking
* Scheduling tasks based on their “processing demand” and recovery time
* Learning how to direct attention, rather than avoid distractions
* Feeding and moving our bodies in ways that prep us for success
* Identifying what matters in our environment to be at the top of our mental game
We are capable of impressive feats of comprehension, motivation, thinking, and performance when our brain and biological systems are functioning optimally. Two Awesome Hours will show you how to be your most productive every day.
“Exceptionally practical. Davis offers suggestions that are straightforward, easy to apply, and immediately useful. I spent two awesome hours reading this book last night and it changed the way I’m working today.” —Peter Bregman, bestselling author of 18 Minutes and Four Seconds
