Book synopsis

From the NY Times bestselling authors of Sprint, a 4-step system for improving focus, finding more satisfaction in your work, and making more time for the things that matter. Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said "The best way to spend this time is cramming it full of meetings!" Or got to work and thought "Today I'm going to spend two hours surfing Facebook," or "today I'm prioritizing everybody else's whims!" And yet, that's exactly what we do. But why? Because in a world where the average person looks at their phone 300 times a day, where infinite streams of information refresh themselves at our fingertips, and where "productivity," has come to mean "reacting to other people's priorities faster" - busy and distracted has become the default position. But given the reality of the world we live in, say the authors, trying to resist distraction by the sheer force of willpower alone is neither realistic nor efficient. Instead we need to reset our default from frazzled to focused. As creaters of Google Ventures' renowned "design sprint," Jake and John have spent thousands of hours with some of the most productive teams on the planet, observing their work habits firsthand. Here, they offer a simple, 4-step system that helps individuals intentionally design their days around these same battle-tested principles. Each step includes an arsenal of "hacks" that can be tailored to the reader's individuals habits and lifestyle. This isn't a book about productivity, or getting more things done, faster. And it doesn't offer generic and unrealistic solutions like taking a digital detox or outcourcing your life. Instead, it helps readers form sustainable new habits so they can stop passively reacting to the implicit demands of the modern world, and start actively making time for the people and activities that matter.
