🎙 Welcome to The Quiet Footnote — where we don’t just summarize books, we soften the noise and listen for the wisdom beneath it.

In this episode, we step into Make Time by Jake Knapp & John Zeratsky — a refreshing guide to taking back your most precious, non-renewable resource: time.

This isn’t about squeezing more tasks into your day.
It’s about slowing down enough to do what truly matters.

“You don’t find time. You make it.”

Drawing from their experience in tech and design, the authors offer a playbook for escaping the endless cycle of busyness — replacing distraction with intention, and urgency with focus.

💡 What’s Inside This Summary:

  • The “Highlight” method for deciding your day’s true priority

  • How to design your environment to reduce distraction

  • Energy habits that make focus sustainable

  • Why saying “no” is an act of self-respect

  • Small tweaks that lead to big, lasting changes in how you live

🌍 Why It Matters Now:
In an age of notifications, infinite scroll, and constant demands, Make Time is a reminder that your calendar is not your master — it’s your canvas.
Whether you’re building a dream project or simply want more time to breathe, this book helps you reclaim the hours that are already yours.

🕯 Because time isn’t something you have.
It’s something you choose.
