How to Focus on What Matters Every Day
Book • 2018
In 'Make Time', Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky offer a framework to help individuals manage their time more effectively.
The book introduces the concept of the 'Busy Bandwagon' and 'Infinity Pools' (endless digital content) that consume our time.
It proposes a four-step daily process: Highlight (identify the most important task), Laser (focus on that task), Energize (maintain energy levels), and Reflect (evaluate and improve the process).
The authors provide over 80 actionable tips to help readers implement these steps and make meaningful time for what truly matters.
