Make Time: How to focus on what matters every day

Product Information

But these forces are not mandatory. They are defaults that we’ve become accustomed to. Our devices, workplaces, and culture have built-in defaults that make busy and distracted the normal state of affairs. But nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, “The best way to spend this time is to cram it full of random meetings!” Prioritize writing on paper rather than on a computer. As it is explained in the book "Make Time", since this device has many functions, it ends up creating distractions. Finish the proposal for a new work project you’re excited about and share it with a few trusted colleagues. Initially, you should think and understand why you want more time. Each day, you should choose an activity and prioritize it.

Try intermittent fasting, e.g. have an early dinner, skip breakfast and have a big lunch, so you’ll go almost 16 hours without food. Every day, reflect on whether you made time for your Highlight and how well you were able to focus on it. You’ll note how much energy you had. You’ll review the tactics you used, jot down some observations on what worked and what didn’t, and make a plan for which tactics you’ll try tomorrow.

What activity, moment, or accomplishment do you want to have in the day? This is the Highlight. Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky define that there are three types: The most amazing thing has been the community. Having a place to talk about the challenges in life and reading how others overcome their challenges or learn from a failed experiment is cool.” —Max in Sweden Who is it for?

Protams, neviena (paš)palīdzības grāmata nevar izdarīt lietas jūsu vietā. Bet es ar to ļoti ātri aizrāvos, sāku pierakstīt principus un jau pirmajā nedēļā sāku dažus no tiem ieviest dzīvē. Laiks rādīs, vai es izdarīšu vai neizdarīšu lietas, ko sen jau gribu (bet nedaru). Bet es pilnīgi noteikti esmu iegaumējusi daudzus vērtīgus padomus. Tie gan nekur nepazudīs. (Galvenokārt tāpēc, ka esmu tos izkladzinājusi visiem tiem draugiem, kas gatavi klausīties. Dažreiz tā pat nav viņu izvēle.) Ja dažus no tiem būtu zinājusi gadus 10 agrāk, ir lietas, kas būtu citādāk. Tā kā mana dzīve ir krietni atšķirīga no Googlistu, ne viss ir piemērojams manai mazajai mietpilsonīša ikdienai. Tāpēc 4 zvaigznes, ne piecas. Bet vispār grāmata, ar ko gribas iemest daudziem. Can I move at my own pace? Yes! The lessons will be released once a week according to the schedule above. If you fall behind, you can easily catch up. We recommend not working ahead, because the course schedule was carefully designed for maximum learning benefit, but if you ask nicely we can accelerate your lessons 🤓 If you think you don't have spaces in your calendar, try creating them. You can do this by shortening meeting times, for example;

After deciding your Highlight, to make it work, test some of the practices presented in this summary; Change the icons on your phone's home screen to the next screen. An empty home screen can provide a time of serenity every time you use the phone since there will be no distractions; Say: “I’m slow to respond because I need to prioritize some important projects, but if your message is urgent, send me a text.” Use the "Time Timer". This tactic allows you to observe that time is passing and you need to focus on what you are doing;
