Eliminate distractions to focus on what's essential from "summary" of Make time by Jake Knapp,John Zeratsky (Product designer)
To make time for what's important, you need to eliminate distractions. This might seem obvious, but it's easier said than done. Distractions are everywhere, and they can sneak up on you when you least expect it. That's why you need to be intentional about creating a distraction-free environment. Start by identifying your most common distractions. Is it your phone buzzing with notifications? Is it your email inbox pinging with new messages? Once you know what distracts you, you can take steps to eliminate or minimize them. One effective way to eliminate distractions is to set boundaries. For example, you could turn off notifications on your phone during certain hours of the day. Or you could schedule specific times to check your email, rather than constantly refreshing your inbox. By setting boundaries, you create a clear separation between work and leisure, allowing you to focus on what's truly important. Another strategy for eliminating distractions is to create a dedicated workspace. This could be a quiet corner of your home, a local coffee shop, or a shared office space. The key is to find a place where you can focus without being interrupted. By creating a physical barrier between you and potential distractions, you can increase your productivity and focus on the task at hand.- Eliminating distractions is about prioritizing what's important to you. By removing the things that pull you away from your goals, you can create space for what truly matters. It's not easy, but with practice and dedication, you can learn to focus on what's essential and make time for the things that bring you joy and fulfillment.
