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[2][3][4].

In this book, Dr. Richard A. Swenson addresses the issue of chronic overloading in modern life and introduces the concept of 'margin' as a solution. Margin is defined as the space between our load and our limits, acting as a buffer to help us heal, relate, reflect, and recharge. The book provides seventy-five practical prescriptions for restoring margin in areas such as emotional energy, physical energy, time, and finances. It emphasizes the importance of simplicity, rest, and balance in achieving a healthier and more fulfilling life, particularly from a Christian perspective[1][3][4].
