Reconsidering

Episode 4: Making time with John Zeratsky


Listen Later

For many of us, time slips by mysteriously. It’s gobbled up by email, social media infinity pools, and the flotsum and jetsum of life. At the end of the day we’re left wondering, “uh, what did I do today?”

John Zertasky, co-author of Make Time, wants us to be more aware of and intentional about how we spend our most precious resource—our time. John spent years working at Google and GV, the venture capital arm of Google. With that sort of background you might think John’s perspective on time management slants towards productivity and optimizing output, but you’d be wrong.

Years in the tech industry grind where attention is fragmented and speed is fetishized have given John clarity that a laser focus on what’s important is the path to satisfaction and balance.

John’s perspective will help you reflect on what’s most important in your life so you can allocate your time accordingly and find highlights every day.
