'A fun, interesting, and useful read!' David Allen, bestselling author of Getting Things Done Nearly all of us want to be more productive, but finding the method that works for you among the hundreds and hundreds of different tips, tricks and hacks can be a daunting prospect. After graduating college, Chris Bailey decided to dedicate a whole year to doing just that - experimenting with as many of the techniques as he could, and finding the things that work. Among the experiments that he undertook are: going several weeks on little to no sleep; cutting out caffeine and sugar; taking a daily siesta; living in total isolation for 10 days; stretching his workweek to 90 hours; and getting up at 5:30 every morning, all the while monitoring the impact of his experiments on the quality and quantity of his work. The results were often surprising! This book is the result of Chris's year-long journey, distilling the lessons he learned into a few core truths about how we get things done (or, indeed, don't). Among the many counterintuitive insights Chris discovered that had the biggest impact on his productivity were striving for imperfection; scheduling less time for important tasks; the 20 second rule to distract yourself from distractions; and the concept of productive procrastination. In this accessible and fun guide, Chris Bailey offers over 30 tried-and-tested best practices that will help everyone to accomplish more - and become more awesome.

From the vibrant tapestry of Indian mythology emerges a tale unlike any other—Arjuna: Blade of the Gods—an epic saga of celestial weapons, ancient prophecies, and the indomitable spirit of a warrior destined to shape the fate of a kingdom. Arjuna, the chosen one, is plucked from the deceptive tranquility of Hastinapur's grand celebrations, where whispers of an encroaching darkness lie hidden beneath the surface. Called upon by the gods themselves, he embarks on a perilous quest to gather fragments of forgotten power, celestial weapons scattered among realms infused with their own dangers and trials. With each step, Arjuna's power grows, but so does his awareness of the terrible toll these weapons demand. Agni, the fire god, tests his mettle in a volcanic inferno. The elusive Vayu challenges him to an aerial duel through ever-shifting skyways. In a haunting temple of illusions, Citrangada, the warrior princess, forces him to discern truth from falsehood. The shadow of an ancient power begins to take shape – Varuna, an Asura rising from the depths, driven by a thirst for revenge and dominion. Yet, this growing threat is not the only enemy Arjuna must face. Temptations linger on his path, promising false peace and an escape from the heavy mantle of responsibility. Internal battles must be fought alongside external ones, testing the limits of his spirit and questioning the very righteousness he seeks to uphold. In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Arjuna is both a savior and a potential force of ruin. The path he carves is fraught with choices that will echo throughout time and leave an enduring mark on the realm. Friendships will be tested, lives will be lost, and sacrifices will be demanded, all leading toward a decisive battle where the destiny of Hastinapur will hang in the balance. Arjuna: Blade of the Gods is not simply a tale of a warrior claiming power, it's an exploration of the price that power exacts – on the warrior, on his loved ones, and on the world he fights for. It invites the reader to walk beside Arjuna and ponder the age-old questions – how do we define heroism? Is unshakeable duty its own kind of sacrifice? And where does the line between hero and tyrant blur?
