Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day
Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky Paid Beginner
Built around picking one Highlight per day and defending it, which maps cleanly onto shipping one small thing in every build block. The tactics are small and practical, like closing notification loops and designing your environment so distraction is harder. It is less about grand productivity systems and more about winning one day at a time, which is what solo shipping actually is.
- Choose one daily Highlight and protect the time for it
- Remove distraction triggers rather than relying on willpower
- Design each day so the important build happens before the noise starts
