John Zeratsky on Crafting Time for What Truly Matters
I don't think we're talking about productive in the sense of being able to get more things done for your boss, I mean in the sense of being able to do the things that matter to you.
Ever feel like your days are slipping through your fingers, filled with distractions and endless to-dos? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with John Zeratsky, a former tech designer turned time-management guru, to talk about his book *Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day*. Zeratsky's journey from the fast-paced tech world to rethinking how we spend our time is both fascinating and practical.
He shares how creating a 'highlight' for each day can help us focus on what truly matters, rather than getting lost in the noise. From setting priorities to adding friction to deter distractions (like turning off those pesky notifications), Zeratsky offers simple yet effective strategies to reclaim our time. He also dives into how our relationship with technology can either drain or boost our energy levels.
It's not about being more productive for others; it's about making time for the things that light us up. If you're looking to make more meaningful use of your days, this episode is a must-listen.
