Questions about the book

What is Enjoy Productivity about?

Most productivity advice promises to help you do more. Enjoy Productivity: How to Game the Science of Productivity by Keegan Purnell starts with a simpler idea: know what matters, then enjoy the work of doing it. It is a field guide to ten habits of mind for building a working life you don’t need a vacation to recover from.

What are the ten habits in Enjoy Productivity?

The book is laid out like a board game, with ten habits in order:

  1. Clarity: know what matters
  2. Focus: protect what matters
  3. Energy: fuel what matters
  4. Simplicity: remove what doesn’t matter
  5. Consistency: repeat what matters
  6. Relationships: share what matters
  7. Enjoyment: love what matters
  8. Courage: start what matters
  9. Meaning: understand why it matters
  10. Presence: experience what matters
How is the book structured?

Forty short lessons across the ten habits. Each lesson has a principle, a short story, an explanation of why it works, and a small “Try this” action you can do the same week.

Is Enjoy Productivity based on research?

Yes. The lessons are grounded in behavioral research and real stories, such as Peter Gollwitzer’s work on implementation intentions and Edwin Locke and Gary Latham’s research on specific, difficult goals.

Where can I buy Enjoy Productivity?

It is available on Amazon.ca. You can also read a free lesson, “Clarity Reduces Decision Fatigue,” before you buy. For bulk orders or workshops, email keeganpurnell@gmail.com.
