Why people recommend it
Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky is a productivity guide focused on helping individuals intentionally design their schedules, reduce digital distractions, and focus on daily priorities. Brad Barrett mentioned reading the book on ChooseFI to address excessive phone usage and better understand the constant pull of content consumption. Barrett and co-host Jonathan Mendonsa frequently referenced the book and its author, John Zeratsky, across multiple episodes, pointing listeners back to an earlier author interview to explore strategies for reclaiming work-life balance. Mendonsa recommended the work to help listeners step back from modern workplace stress and evaluate what truly matters. Throughout these discussions, the hosts used the text to examine how individuals can stop wasting time on endless loops of media and instead make conscious choices about where to direct their attention and energy each day, helping them manage their professional and personal commitments more effectively.
