Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Make Time, written and read Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky.
What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention?
As creators of Google Ventures' renowned 'design sprint', Jake and John have helped hundreds of teams solve important problems by changing how they work. Building on the success of these sprints and their experience designing ubiquitous tech products like Gmail and YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own personal habits and routines, looking for ways to help individuals optimise their energy, focus and time. Now they've packaged the most effective tactics into a four-step daily framework that anyone can use to systematically design their days.
Making time isn't about radically overhauling your lifestyle; it's about making small shifts in your environment to liberate yourself from constant busyness and distraction. Make Time is a must-read for anyone who has ever thought 'if only there were more hours in the day....'

A gem of a book
I loved this book. infact I'm listening to it for a second time and the third time I will read the kindle copy and make notes. finally when i come across a hard copy, I'm buying it for keeps. Reason: Iitially I dismissed it as a for a book for youngster: FB, instagram etc addicts. As a matter of fact I removed these apps from my phone a long time ago before I came across this book, having realised they are sucking whirl pools. Despite that fact, i have found the idea of clearly defining your "highlight" for the day, deciding your most important single task and qualifying it according to your own importance a lifetime "aha!" moment. I recommend this book to anyone who feels like they are in an endless rat race or absolutely unmotivated despite knowing they have things to do. this one is a keepers gem...a life changer. Enjoy & learn.

Some great ideas. Some unrealistic.
Some great ideas but others are just too much and unrealistic. They try too control you too much. And the concept of ancient humans knowing what's best I just don't buy into.

Make Time with proven techniques
I enjoyed this book, lots of tips, and most importantly they were tested by the authors and they also shared insights while they were using the techniques.

Worth it!
This book allowed me to think of things from a different perspective and also gave me new things to try. I am trying to reduce my social media and phone usage and this book definitely gave me tasks and challenges to help along the way. Narrator's are also well spoken but in a welcoming pattern that feels like a podcast.
Very informative with things to take away and use in day to day life. The iPhone home screen section has helped tremendously with my usage times.

Worth the listen!
Wasn’t overly too long to listen to sometimes this is what you need.
Would recommend for journey drives.
