Make Time

John Zeratsky

This book is a refreshing take on the concept of productivity in a world that is increasingly distracted by technology and busyness. Rather than adhering to traditional productivity advice that emphasizes cramming more into each day, “Make Time” encourages readers to rethink how they allocate their time, focusing on making room for what truly matters. It helps readers shift away from the chaotic cycle of endless tasks and distractions to a life where they can focus on what brings them joy, fulfillment, and purpose.
