Based upon his weekly Harvard Business Review columns (which is one of the most popular columns on HBR.com, receiving hundreds of thousands of unique page views a month), 18 MINUTES clearly shows how busy people can cut through all the daily clutter and distractions and find a way to focus on those key items which are truly the top priorities in our lives. Bregman works from the premise that the best way to combat constant and distracting interruptions is to create productive distractions of one's own. Based upon a series of short bite-sized chapters, his approach allows us to safely navigate through the constant chatter of emails, text messages, phone calls, and endless meetings that prevent us from focusing our time on those things that are truly important to us. Mixing first-person insights along with unique case studies, Bregman sprinkles his charming book with pathways which help guide us -- pathways that can get us on the right trail in 18 minutes or less.… (meer)

This was one of those personal development that was full of good but basic, familiar advice. The key takeaways were to structure your goals around annual focuses (~3-7 of them), spend some time each day planning and reflecting, and take occasional pauses to make sure you're focusing on what's important. One thing I did appreciate it was that these goals were supposed to cover all of the areas of your life. So for Bregman, he sets 5 annual focuses. Two are personal (be present with family and take time to recharge and energize himself), two are related to his business, and one is in between -- take time to express himself creatively through writing. By forcing you to consider all parts of your life when setting your priorities, it avoids the common problem of having too many or only work priorities.

All-in-all though, while this wasn't a waste of time -- reminders are good -- I'm glad that it took only a few hours to listen to the whole thing. (

Some good ideas here, I think. Now if I can just make myself try it (I'll start with the hourly check-in). (

Some good takeaways hidden amongst personal illustrative examples. (

I saw him speak at AASL in the fall. I find his ideas compelling and helpful. (
