# 📖 Who Should Read It?
– Anyone who feel exhausted by the busyness of modern life and are unable to find time for what is important to them.
– Social media and smartphone users who feel like their devices and apps own them, rather than the other way around.
– Quarter, mid and late-life crisis sufferers who sense their lives are slipping by in a busy, distracted blur.
# ☘️ How the Book Changed Me
This book changed my life immediately in many ways –
– I understood that I waste a considerable amount of time in my day scrolling through instagram and facebook, which were my distraction kryponites. So, I uninstalled both. It was tough at first, but soon I realised my life is a lot more peaceful now, and that I don’t miss them anymore.
– I used to create to-do lists. But this book made me realise that anyone who has a to-do list will try to check maximum boxes quickly, so will take up the easy tasks first, and hence the important ones are left out. This had a scary resonance with my own practices. Now, I started micro-managing my day, by creating a weekly agenda based on the to-do list, and adding those to my calendar each day, and reflecting at the end of the day on whether I could find time to do everything planned, and adjusting for the coming days accordingly. This has helped me finish off my tasks more efficiently
– I now have a highlight for (almost) every day, and using the above tactic, I am able to find time for the highlight
– I no longer get all panicked thinking I have wasted my day unintentionally.
– Also I now realise that I do not have to achieve all the to-dos for the day and still be happy that I have finished the highlight, which is the most important thing I planned for that day.
I am sure that as I start implementing more tactics detailed in this book, it will keep on changing my life in ways I couldn’t imagine before I started reading this book.
# ✍️ My Top 3 Quotes
– Being more productive didn’t mean I was doing the most important work; it only meant I was reacting to other people’s priorities faster.
– Part of the reason we’re all so hooked on distractions is that everybody else is, too. It’s the fear of missing out—FOMO—and we’ve all got it.
– You only waste time if you’re not intentional about how you spend it.
