On Making time

In their book Make Time, Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky point out that our culture dictates the norms of being busy or distracted and that it’s because of this that much of our time is spent by default.

The alternative is to choose to spend time intentionally by reevaluating the default activities that take up our time and by paying attention to and making time for the things that really matter.

This creative practice has been a step in the right direction, but one that has had me reevaluating how thinly I spread myself between endless distractions and busyness that doesn’t align with my values or goals.

Making time in a world full of distractions and business isn’t easy, but the compromise is surely worth it in the long run.
