创造时间 – Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky

想每天做完所有事？每件事都追求完美？

醒醒吧，不存在的！（倒是很可能提前秃顶）

人生苦短，精力有限。

不如换个角度，为重要的人和事创造时间。

创造时间仅需四步：

（1）拎出重点

挑出当天需优先做的重点事项，形成积极主动的思维。

（2）打败分心，聚焦重点

重新设计使用科技产品（如邮件、社交媒体和热点新闻APP等）的方法。

（3）保持活力：为大脑充电

要聚焦，为重要的事情创造时间，大脑需要能量，而能量来源于被悉心照料的身体（比如打个盹、奖励性地锻炼身体、战略性地摄入咖啡因）。

（4）反思：调整并改善体系

睡觉前做点笔记。决定哪些策略第二天可延续使用，哪些要提炼或摒弃。

久而久之，你会构建一个仅针对自己的习性、精力及目标而量身定制的日常时间体系。从而减少忙碌和分心，更好地掌握并享受当下的每一刻。

From the New York Times bestselling authors of Sprint, a simple 4-step system for improving focus, finding greater joy in your work, and getting more out of every day

Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, “The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!” or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I’ll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that’s exactly what we do. Why?
In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people’s priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn’t mandatory? What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention? That’s what this book is about.
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 from Gmail to YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own habits and routines, looking for ways to help people optimize 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. Make Time is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, it offers a customizable menu of bite-size tips and strategies that can be tailored to individual habits and lifestyles.
Make Time isn’t about productivity, or checking off more to-dos. Nor does it propose unrealistic solutions like throwing out your smartphone or swearing off social media. 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.
A must-read for anyone who has ever thought, If only there were more hours in the day…, Make Time will help you stop passively reacting to the demands of the modern world and start intentionally making time for the things that matter.
