Written with humour and packed with practical, evidence-based techniques, it moves beyond rigid time-management rules to offer a genuinely usable system for managing attention, energy and workload in an always-on world. It's ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed by email, notifications and endless to-do lists. About the Book First published to widespread acclaim and fully updated for 2019, How to Be a Productivity Ninja introduces "The Way of the Productivity Ninja" — a set of principles built around Ruthlessness, Mindfulness, Zen-Like Calm, Weapon Selection, Chi and Stealth & Camouflage. Rather than telling readers to simply work harder or squeeze more into an already packed day, Graham Allcott shows how to work smarter by managing attention rather than time, taming a chaotic inbox, and building sustainable habits for deep, focused work. The book draws on Allcott's years of experience training staff at organisations including British Airways, The Cabinet Office and eBay through his company Think Productive, translating that corporate coaching into an accessible, often very funny, paperback guide. Across 368 pages it tackles email overload, procrastination, meeting culture and the constant pull of social media, replacing guilt and burnout with calm, considered productivity. This updated edition reflects the realities of modern working life, including remote work, digital distraction and information overload, making it just as relevant to freelancers and students as to office-based professionals. Learn the "Way of the Productivity Ninja" — six practical principles for calmer, more effective work Tame your inbox with proven email triage techniques Build
