Attention management is a key principle of Maura’s Empowered Productivity System, a workflow management system that puts you back in the driver’s seat of your life and helps unleash your genius. Combining proven productivity techniques with emerging information on attention, distraction, neuroscience, technology development, and behavioral change, the Empowered Productivity System is a methodical approach to overcoming the constant distractions of modern life that contribute to professional burnout. Maura has trained tens of thousands of individuals at thousands of diverse organizations, including the U.S. Army, Dell, and Opus One Winery, to achieve greater results through her proprietary system.

Maura is regularly featured as a productivity and attention management expert in a variety of national business outlets including The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, Forbes, US News and World Report, and The Huffington Post. She is also a regular contributor to the Harvard Business Review where her articles have been viewed more than a million times.

Maura grew up in a suburb north of Boston and earned an MBA from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
