⌚ How to use your time better than 99% of people:
Make Time
by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky
A book focused on helping you optimize each day.
Allowing you to save time for what matters most.
The book is focused around 4 main areas:
1. Highlight
2. Laser
3. Reflect
4. Energize
Today I want to share my favorite lesson from each.
1. The Daily Highlight (HIGHLIGHT)
Choose ONE important, needle-moving activity to be your highlight task of the day.
If you can only accomplish one thing today, it should be this.
Mile long to-do lists can be counter-intuitive.
Cut it down to what matters.
2. Create Distraction Barriers (LASER)
The more layers of separation between you and a distraction, the more likely you are to resist it.
- Log out of social media accounts
- Put your phone out of reach
- Set screen times limits
Stop giving yourself the option of distraction.
3. Live Like a Caveman (ENERGIZE)
We are historically hunter-gatherers:
- Walk more
- Eat less processed food
- Add bursts of activity in your day
You don’t have to do HIIT every day and starve yourself to be more fit.
Focus on small, sustainable changes.
4. Trial and Error Daily (REFLECT)
Effective change happens when we take time each day to reflect:
- What worked?
- What didn't?
- What can I do differently tomorrow?
The systems in your life are like living things.
β€” Constantly growing and changing as you do.
This book is PACKED with tips like these.
