Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp

A not-bad-at-all addition to the plethora of "self-help time management" books that have sprouted like mushrooms in recent years. Like many, there's a nod to the OG, David Allen, but some fresh ideas, a tech-savvy outlook (these guys are from Google) and a fun presentation make it a palatable little read. The idea of a Highlight is fun, and how to find your laser focus is interesting in the discussion of all the things designed to distract you endlessly. Well worth a look.

There are so many great concepts, ideas, cartoons, etc. in this book. I earmarked all the stuff I want to try first. Quick, fun, easy read with over 80 tips to make time.… (more)

Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas…

This is a superb book that is very easy to read, with real world examples of how to apply the techniques discussed. I have taken some of the concepts discussed and am applying them to other activities beyond a 5 day Sprint process. Thoroughly recommended.
