In Free to Focus, Michael Hyatt tackles the reason why past productivity models don’t work today. We’re living in information overload and have to find a new way to handle life in the fast lane. Hyatt says our Distraction Economy promotes low-value activity instead of helping us tap into unrealized potential.
Formerly the chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, Michael Hyatt is a bestselling author and successful entrepreneur. His work and leadership models help “leaders trade burnout for balance.”
Free to Focus is part of that model. I grew up with a generation of multitaskers, but felt like I could never get everything done. Hyatt says focusing on everything means focusing on nothing. He says we live in a time of outrageous abundance that demands we learn to say no to good things.
The book offers:
- Liberating Truths to stop limiting beliefs sabotaging productivity.
- 5 delegation levels that transform leadership.
- The Daily Big 3 Focus.
- Handling interruptions.
- Replenishable Practices, and more.
The book is important for corporations and managing multiple levels within a business, but it also has great insights for individuals seeking to become fully present in the work before us.

Hyatt asks, “If productivity simply comes down to doing more things in your Desire Zone and less of everything else, why aren’t most of us doing that already?”
