Are you getting sucked into endless scrolling in Infinity Pools like email,
YouTube, Instagram and Facebook? It's okay, we all do. We all know these
apps are designed to be addictive. After all, tech is the only industry
other than drugs that calls its customers "users." 

It's so easy to look back on the day and wonder, "Where on earth did
the time go?!" We've drained ourselves of all energy and yet often come up
empty, feeling we have nothing to show for it. At least I'll speak for
myself and say that's how I feel when inadvertently taking a ride on what
John Zeratsky calls the "Busy Bandwagon."

But what do we do about it? How do we "make time" without the same tired
productivity principles that have only led to more exhaustion? John
is co-author of a new book called Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters
Every Day. We’re cut from the same corporate cloth—he worked at Google for
10 years at YouTube and Google Ventures, and has worked as a designer in
the Bay Area for fifteen years before striking out on his own last year. I
think you'll love this conversation for practical tips on finding more
space and joy in work, and why the opposite of exhaustion isn’t necessarily
rest.
