From experiment to book deal: Sprott grad Chris Bailey's "Life of Productivity"

Sprott alumnus Chris Bailey (BCom/13) turned down two job offers and spent the last year researching, experimenting, and writing about productivity on his blog, A Year of Productivity.  As the popularity of Chris’s blog and his passion for productivity grew, he drew the attention of TED and the New York Times.

Chris announced today he is teaming up with Penguin Random House to publish a book that will provide his recommended productivity strategies and tips.

“The Productivity Playbook (a tentative title that may change if we think of something we like even better) pulls the absolute best productivity tactics I’ve encountered over the course of my year-long project—about half of which I haven’t written articles about before—and interweaves these tactics with the story of my project, my productivity experiments, the extensive research I have conducted, and interviews with some of the most renowned productivity experts from around the world,” said Chris in an announcement on his blog, which has been renamed A Life of Productivity.

Scheduled to be published in 2016, Chris says the book won’t simply be a reprint of his blog. He plans to continue learning and experimenting about productivity, and will include the most helpful and valuable lessons gained on his journey.
