Very easy read with a lot of great challenging ideas that are very succinct and easy to swallow . While reading the book I created a distraction free iPhone free of any infinity pool item . It was hard at first but then you kind of enjoyed the freedom away from things that feed you information making you less productive in the process . For a self help book , a genre I rarely read , I’d give it a high 3/5

There are many systems out there for living life. I like to read books about them yearly or so to glean some new nuggets to apply to my own system. This is a pretty good one! The ideas were thorough and helpful and I didn't feel like I was being preached at too much. Recommend this one for anyone who has a hard time achieving work-life balance.

Bisa dibilang buku ini merupakan buku non fiksi yang realistis banget. Isinya menarik karena bahas terkait problem kita banget di zaman yang serba teknologi ini, yaitu distraksi. Buku ini bahas bagaimana kita mengurangi distraksi, dan penulis lebih ke share pengalaman mereka terkait cara mereka melawan dan mengurangi distraksi. Terlebih kedua penulisnya memang berkecibung di dunia teknologi (mereka berdua kerja di google dan youtube), sehingga apa yang mereka share kurang lebih udah mereka coba terapin. Dan ya mereka menekankan pada make time is not about productivity. Jadi ngak ngoyo diajakin "KITA HARUS PRODUKTIF!!!!. Melainkan lebih diajak buat fokus ke hal-hal yang penting aja dan lebih slow sehingga kamu masih punya waktu buat nikmatin hal lain yang kamu sukai.

Ini salah satu kalimat yang kusukai dari buku ini:
It's not about getting more done, finishing your to-dos faster or outsourcing your life. Instead, it's a actually create more time in your day for the tings you care about, wheter that's speading time with your family, learning language, etc.

Buku ini beneran ngajak kayak pepatah jawa alon alon asal kelakon. Oh iya, isi bukunya juga ngak ngebosenin karena banyak banget ilustrasi dan cara kepenulisannya menarik. Karena seluruh isi bukunya lebih kayak obrolan antar penulis dalam hal share pengalaman make time.

P.S. Kalau mau lebih menikmati pengalaman waktu reading buku ini, coba buat dengerin audiobooknya juga.

الكتاب جدا جميل واستفدت منه كثيرا في تنظيم وقتي
فيه قوانين جدا كثير تساعدك انك تحافظ على وقتك رغم المشتتات الموجودة من حولنا
افضل شيء عجبني في الكتاب مؤلفي الكتاب ماشين على هذه القوانين وكل واحد منهم يعطينا راية الشخصي بصراحة
جدا استفدت من هذه الكتاب وانصح أي واحد عنده عذر (انه مشغول دائما) ان يقرأ هذه الكتاب
متأكد انه راح تتغير نظرته للوقت
قراءة ممتعة لكم

This is a good approach to how to set one highlight for your day.  It has strategies for how to focus, energize yourself, and reflect.  The best parts are the highlight and reflect.  Laser and Energize are familiar strategies if you have read some productivity and health books.  I suggest this as a used book or a library book.

Nothing here is that earth-shattering. But ya know, sometimes you need a well-written and organized book to remind you of some common sense techniques. Worth the price just for the motivation it gave me!
