A fun book about productivity techniques.
It has lots of nice ideas on how to focus and achieve goals. One of the main messages is to choose the highlight of the day. It is valuable advice because the highlight can be something as ambitious as “finish that final report” or as simple as “enjoy a cup of tea after work”.
It has lots of ideas to experiment with our habits and routines, not all of them will work for everybody. It is a lighthearted book about productivity with no pressure on being highly productive all the time. It's more about doing what we enjoy :)
Même si j'aime beaucoup Jake Knapp, je dois avouer que ce nouveau livre est plus que moyen. Je crois que je commence surtout à fatiguer sur ce discours d'assistanat par rapport à un « esclavage » par notre smartphone et à quel point on rejette toute faute de comportement sur l'appareil. Au final peu de conseils sont vraiment intéressés passes la moitié du livre dédiée à tout simplement tout enlever de votre téléphone pour surtout ne plus se comporter comme un addict. Le reste tombe vraiment sous le coup du bon sens dans la majorité des cas en étant très peu creusé. Bref, rien de transcendant.
Make Time is the best personal productivity book I've read. It's done more to change my habits and attitude towards my productivity than any other book. 2nd place being GTD.
This book is 5 stars because the authors are relatable. The examples are realistic, not idealistic. The tips are designed to be inclusive of priorities like family, passions, and natural oscillations in energy level. It's a light read, with the authors bringing a chill vibe, and a light touch to do things a little better, not shoot for perfection.
The biggest point in the book is the “highlight”. One 30–90 minute task that you decide to get done today that'll make you happy with the result of the day. Along side the highlight concept there are loads of tips. They're short and snack-able, designed to be experimented with—kept or discarded. I loved the chapters on energy levels.
