focus, time to experiment, time to master creative skills. Make
Time provides ways for each of us to find new reserves of that
precious commodity. It is an excellent guidebook for taking control
of the design of your life." -Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO and author
of Change By Design
"Make Time is practical and engaging, offering tips on
everything from designing your day to the benefits of cutting out
cable news and eschewing plane Wi-Fi in favor of time away from
work. Especially useful for me was the guidance on e-mail. It turns
out that being slow to respond is a terrific way to take control of
your time. (Sorry, colleagues.)" -Harvard Business Review

sure to glean insights from this powerful book." -Booklist, starred
