Make Time - A friendly approach to finding focus and energy in daily life

Introduction

Make Time is a system for gaining clarity and maintaining focus, so that we do our best work and experience a better quality of life, each and every day. 

It is a fun, friendly and flexible antidote to our culture of busyness. A culture of habitual email checking, perpetual reaction to other peoples noise, paying partial attention to everything and notification overwhelm. 

Make Time is a four-step framework for resetting our mindset from frazzled & distracted to purposeful & creative. A set of practises for designing nourishing habits, healthier perspectives on work and bringing our ‘someday’ projects to life today. 

Most of all, Make Time is a manifesto for finding and growing our deeper story. 

In this official Make Time partner event you will learn a complete process of reclaiming your time and restructuring your days around the things that matter most to you. 

Challenges

• Your days feel like a series of reactions—to your phone, your email, and other people’s priorities.
• There are projects—small, medium, or large—you’d like to make time for, but don’t know where to start.
• There are people—your family, friends, colleagues, or neighbours—you want to spend more time with, but you feel like “work” just gets in the way.
• You’ve tried to get organised and get productive with other books, apps, and systems, but found the advice unrealistic or impractical. 
• You feel busy and distracted, without enough time for the projects and people that matter most to you.

Benefits

• Discover where your time goes now, and decide where you want to spend it instead.
• Understand which activities and people give you energy (and which ones zap it).
• Master strategies for choosing a daily Highlight and fitting it into your schedule.
• Practice using your Highlight to make time every day.
• Reconfigure technology so you’re in charge of your time (instead of letting devices ruin your day).
• Learn to build and maintain energy so you can enjoy the moments that matter.
• Reflect daily to build strong habits for focusing on what matters.
• Make a plan for big life changes like your Someday Project.

• "As someone obsessed with time and how to spend it wisely, I loved this fun and useful book. Not your normal productivity fare." --Ev Williams, founder of Medium and Twitter

• "Make Time has been the single most influential shift this year. Choosing a daily Highlight has helped me hush the busy bandwagon and leave the day feeling accomplished. This feeling of accomplishment leads into a more intentional evening with my kids, where we cook, clean and read together. For the first time in a long time I have both hope and a plan to accomplish the long-term goals for my life." --Erica in Michigan
