Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky

4.0

The book encourages intentionality behind forming tasks with 87 strategies to power your day right to get them in order. It encourages to experiment through them through the scientific method.

The practice of "Daily Highlights" is mentioned where you pick one task that's more important than anything else not just for its urgency but because of how important it is to you in the long run, as if with the mindset of "if I don't get to other tasks, this is the one I need to at least finish for today".

I personally don't like stimulants because they make me feel jittery or give me headaches, so the section on Caffeine just didn't vibe with me. However, the book said not to ingest too much sugary foods like cake, but snack on fruits, almonds, and other "non-processed foods" which is very much how I currently energize myself.

Finally, the book doesn't say do this or do that, but encourages YOU to find out what works for you in a scientific manner through the daily reflection section and gives you 87 time-making tools to try out for your experimentation.
