Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky
4.0
This is probably 4.5 stars for me. A 5 hour listen with lots of good ideas for how to make time for the things that you want to prioritize. I like that they give you a lot of ideas but also remind you that you don't need to do them all, and that you might not even like them all.
Some things I've done based on my listening: changed the "main focus" part of my daily journal to "highlight." I also made the first screen of my home screen on my phone blank with a reminder to consider why I'm getting on my phone so I can meet my purpose and not waste away tons of time browsing.
Some things I'm interested in doing: #84 changing my phone to night mode at a certain time every night. #18 Log myself out of time distracting websites so that when I try to get in, I'll have to log in and it'll make me consider if I want to spend my time that way. Adjusting my to-do lists so they're not a jumble of different level tasks (some of which are easy and I can do them to procrastinate doing the others). #19 Turning off more of my notifications. #34/35 Checking my email at certain points in the day instead of constantly cleaning them out. #51 Play a laser soundtrack: play a specific song only when I'm starting a specific task I want to focus on. #80 Take real breaks: go outside or talk to someone instead of going on social media.
