Intentional: How to Finish What You Start

Setting a goal is rarely the difficult part. Staying with it once the novelty wears off is where most plans quietly stop. Chris Bailey, who wrote Hyperfocus, argues that the missing element is neither willpower nor another scheduling trick but intention: goals anchored to what genuinely matters to a person, whether that is security at work, control over decisions, or belonging somewhere. The book draws on current productivity research and converts it into specific tactics, including ways to make tedious tasks less repellent, structures that reduce procrastination on long projects, methods for tracking progress, and the harder skill of recognising when a goal should be dropped rather than pursued. Before it reaches the shelf: • Follow-up to the bestselling Hyperfocus by the same author • Research-backed tactics rather than general motivational advice • Includes guidance on abandoning goals that no longer fit • Structured around building a workable system for tracking progress Useful for students, professionals and anyone sitting on a stalled project, offered by Boipoka.
