In today’s high-tech world, we live in a vicious cycle of constant busyness – caused by endless to-do lists and other people’s priorities thrust upon us through emails and meeting invitations – and the reward for our exhaustion in the form of always-on, virtually endless sources of information and entertainment (social media, news, video streaming).
In “Make Time,” Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky show how we can take back control of our lives and find time for those activities that matter to us and fulfill us.
And we can do that without completely changing our lifestyle! The authors present 87 simple tactics in productivity, nutrition, and exercise – all of which are slight changes in our daily lives that significantly impact our ability to focus, be effective, and have energy.
My personal favorites are:
The authors have tried all the tactics on themselves over the years and describe their experiences with them quite entertainingly. What’s interesting is that the two authors don’t always agree. Ultimately, they acknowledge that everyone is individual and must find their own combination of tactics that work.
The book is entertaining and easy to read. Each tactic is easy to implement on its own. There is something here for everyone!
🎧 Suitable as an audiobook? Yes, and it is narrated by the authors themselves.
