Publisher's 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....'

Great book to bounce ideas

Loved it and great ideas. Although imo the food and exercise part would be better if it were presented with a more detailed scientific study/literature.

Straightforward and clear steps

I love how the authors make it clear that they are showing things that can work but you don’t have to do everything and you don’t have to do it all at once. This is less overwhelming. I’m applying a few because I really just want to improve my life

Many helpful tactics

Easy to apply premise and chock-full of helpful tactics for you to try to make more time for what's important to you, block distractions and maintain your energy.

The audiobook performance was a lot of fun, and matches the ambience of the physical book (which contains fun cartoons) well. A pleasure to listen to.

Writers themselves narrating the book!

I've listened to quite a lot of book on Audible now and what stood out the most in this one was that the book is narrated by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky themselves. it helped me connect a lot better with the book.
