The five options

Every day brings with it a tidal wave of demands: a barrage of text messages, emails, interruptions, meetings, phone calls, tweets, and blogs—not to mention intense work pressure—that is exhausting and debilitating. This overwhelming amount of distractions threatens our ability to think clearly and make sound decisions. If we react to these triggers, mindlessly switching from one task to another, we will fail to accomplish the things that matter most in our professional and personal lives. In this book, readers will learn how to make five essential choices that will increase their ability to achieve what matters to them. Backed by science and Franklin Covey's years of experience and research, The Five Choices helps readers increase their productivity and cultivate an inner sense of contentment and peace. The five choices are simple, yet they require a radical shift in mindset and will lead to increased personal and professional success.
