Make time for yourself.
Formula used by Google creators.
“Make time” by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky. Jake and John, both used to work at Google. They spent their careers designing products like Gmail, Youtube, and google hangouts. It is based on a structure of four steps repeated every day; highlight, laser, energize, and reflect.
Highlight:
The first step is deciding what we wanna make time for and that involves figuring out what is our daily highlight.
The idea of the daily highlight is that each day we’ll choose a single action that we’ll prioritize and protect in our calendar. Highlight can kind of be anything, it can be wrapping up a piece of a chore or doing an exercise. It’s not just the only thing that we gonna do. It’s the thing that we wanna make time for that day. It reveals a path of being intentional and focused on how you spend your time.
Laser:
We can channel our energy into making time instead of wasting it. So the point is, because we know we’re gonna get distracted by devices, the instant gratification of these infinity pools. We need to ramp up the friction so that physically makes it harder to use the things.
