b'John Zeratsky, a former designer at YouTube and Google, became obsessed with the idea of redesigning time. He is the bestselling author of "Make Time: How to Focus On What Matters Every Day." John also writes for the Wall Street Journal, TIME, Harvard Business Review, Wired, and Fast Company. He\'s a guy who knows his stuff. Make Time is not about crushing to-do\'s, optimizing every hour, or maximizing your productivity. It\\u2019s about rethinking your defaults of constant busyness and distraction to achieve what matters. \\xa0 When people ask\\xa0John\\xa0what he does, how does he like to reply? Make Time is not about\\xa0productivity; what is it about? What are the two mighty forces that\\xa0are competing for every minute of our time? The two authors worked deep within the\\xa0industry that is hell-bent on stealing our attention. Show\\xa0us how to\\xa0take it back. Where did John start, and where do we start? How to figure out the relationship you want to have with your phone and\\xa0then design it? The reframing of our relationship with email\\xa0and social media. The conscious audit and\\xa0rethink? How do we install guard rails? The implementation of the daily highlights philosophy. Are we debriefing at the end of each day, and what questions should we specifically ask? If John were to add another chapter to the\\xa0book, what would it be about? What\\u2019s the might-do list as opposed to the to-do list? We say we know what matters, yet our actions are completely\\xa0contrary. Why is that the case? In John\'s mind, can we slow down the hand of\\xa0time? A classic example of skill stacking: John\\xa0stacks being a time geek, technology, design, being an illustrator, and author.\\xa0 What\\u2019s the relationship between\\xa0willpower and time? "Instinctively, we protect our physical selves. But when it comes to the mind, we\\u2019re less disciplined. We hand it over willingly to social media, to television, to what other people are doing, thinking, or saying.\\u201d \\u2014@dailystoic \\xa0 \\xa0 LINKS \\xa0 John Zeratsky About Me https://about.me/jazer \\xa0 John Zeratsky on Twitter https://bit.ly/2XrHD8S \\xa0 Make Time Blog https://maketime.blog \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/ \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson \\xa0 Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.
