Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day
by Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky
This book was... okay.
It's a lot of advice in the form of "tips" (take caffeine naps! drink more water! don't check e-mails more than once per day!), which I find to be pretty surface-level reading. It's also clearly written by a couple of dudes from Silicon Valley who can afford to organize their time and their work as if no one else is concerned. For those of us working on teams-- and with family commitments that demand more of us-- I'm not sure much of this book will ring true.\
There are better scheduling-advice books out there; this one seems a bit out of touch with the real world. (One of the authors confesses to having quit his day job to take up sailing full-time, for what that tells you.)
Two stars because the audio, read by the co-authors may be a more efficient read than the print book, which takes pains to delineate one author's voice from the other using visual cues.
