    About this ebook

    Short. To the Point. To Help High Performers Become Even More Productive

    Results are what matter the most to you. You want to be a reliable producer of value in your chosen domain: whether it's your career, business, sports, studies, non-profit endeavors, or any other undertaking requiring intense focus.

    You'd like to learn how to become more productive, but your time is precious, and you don't have time for a five-hundred-page book only to discover that you can summarize it with two sentences.

    If that's you, Self-Disciplined Producer is for you. Written with high performers in mind, it's a concise guide covering the most effective techniques to build self-control, improve your productivity and deliver consistent results day in, and day out. In about an hour and a half of reading you'll discover:

    - a confusingly simple strategy of an American novelist and screenwriter that can help you overcome one habit that is most harming your productivity,

    - how distractions can make you more eager to get to work,

    - three strategies to ensure that you always finish what you started instead of leaving all your projects half-finished,

    - five strategies to embrace delayed gratification and become more patient with the process so that you won't give up prematurely,

    - a fun mental exercise to help you identify the most important task and reduce time spent on less meaningful activities,

    - a principle developed in the 14th century by an English philosopher that can help you simplify your workday and become more productive,

    - a law humorously invented by a British naval historian that can help you perform your most important tasks in half the time usually needed to get them done,

    - six methods to recharge for higher productivity—because without a proper rest protocol you'll be unlikely to ever operate at an optimal level.

    The author of Self-Disciplined Producer has been using these techniques to help him publish sixteen books, create four video courses with over 25,000 enrolled students in total, and translate his books into ten languages—all in the span of two years and a half.

    If you're eager to learn how to double, triple, or even quadruple your productivity, don't hesitate any longer. Invest an amount equivalent to what you pay for a cup of coffee, apply the teachings from this book to your workday and reap the benefits that might lead to thousandfold or higher returns.

    Prologue

    The evolution of modern technology has led to the reduction in our ability to focus. Distractions rule our everyday lives. What used to be a normal ability—diligent, disciplined work—is now a superpower.

    For many, not checking their social media profiles for the fiftieth time during the day is impossible. When browsing the Internet, most have dozens of tabs open, reading five articles at once, watching a video and responding to a message from a friend. Perhaps you are reading this book while eating lunch, or on hold for a call or avoiding the report you must finish today.

    So many people constantly launch new projects that sidetrack them instead of focusing on one thing and doing it well. They constantly need new stimuli because having or doing the same thing is boring to them.

    Self-discipline and good old work ethic are no longer attractive values. The need for variety and entertainment are what now dictate a person’s behavior—at the expense of their productivity and ultimately, success in life.

    Being unable to focus amid all the distraction makes consistency difficult. Building self-control, improving your productivity and delivering results day in and day out can be accomplished with a few minor adjustments. Self-Disciplined Producer will help you achieve success by teaching you how to make those changes.

    As an author and entrepreneur, my income depends on my ability to focus. There’s nobody standing by me, telling me to work. I have to implement strategic exercises and discipline myself or my business won’t grow. 

    Distractions once ruled my life: instead of committing to a single business, I kept losing focus and moving from one shiny object to another. Needless to say, I wasn’t capable of producing the results I was so desperately after.

    Then a shift happened.

    Over the last two and a half years, I released sixteen books, created four video courses with over 25,000 enrolled students in total, translated my books into ten languages, and created a YouTube channel with over 20,000 subscribers. As a result, I became a bestselling author in a wildly competitive personal development genre.

    None of this would have been possible without consistent focus which I finally developed when I made a conscious decision to permanently improve my productivity. In this book, we will go step by step through the habits and strategies I discovered to help me deliver results, so you can see them in your own life.

    I understand that you’re a busy person with little time you can dedicate to reading. For this reason, this book—like my other titles—is brief and gets to the point as quickly as possible. Each chapter starts with the introduction of an enemy of focus and then offers you tips, exercises, and habits you can implement to overcome it.

    Whenever I talk about work or being a producer, I talk about pursuing productive endeavors of all kind—working on your business, studying, learning a new skill, working for a charity, or performing any other value-producing task. Consequently, this book applies to all types of employment, professions and even your personal life.

    By looking at five enemies of focus, including how they affect us and why we are susceptible, you can start making personal changes towards becoming a self-disciplined producer. This is why, throughout the book, for each challenge, there are multiple exercises or techniques that you can immediately implement in your own life to improve your productivity.

    Eager to learn more? Let’s discover the first enemy of focus at work and learn how to battle against it.
