Attention Management : How to Create Success and Gain Productivity
Maura Nevel Thomas · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Maura Nevel Thomas (self-narrated)
83/100
👍 Worth It
Maura Nevel Thomas makes a sharp, well-supported case that attention management, not time management, is the real modern productivity skill, and her four-state framework is concrete enough to actually use. Corporate-vetted (NASA, Google, Comcast) and well-reviewed for its clarity, and her own narration keeps the short runtime tight and personal, well worth the listen.
