《Make Time》聽後感：一次只聚焦一個最重要的目標

Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day




【不完成就殺掉】

 2019年讀完的第一本書《Make Time》，其實不能算是用看的，而是用聽的。去年底加入Amazon旗下的 Audible一個月體驗專案，三十天內可以解除會員，一毛錢都不用付，贈送兩本免費的有聲書，可以自行挑選喜歡的，這是其中一本。另一本有聲書則是《Atomic Habits》，我也有買精裝版的紙本書。

 查線上Cambridge英英字典的雙語版，make time 可以解釋成騰出或挪出時間。

 本書主要可以學到兩位共同作者提出的架構：Highlight ---> Laser+Energize ---> Reflect。另外，最大的收穫則是學會使用Burner List，一次只聚焦一個最重要的目標。目標不是完成，就是殺掉，同時不要忘了保有彈性。




書中還提供很多條實(白)用(癡)的技巧，幫助我們不分心，像是清空手機螢幕首頁的所有app，試過以後，效果滿不錯的，不會輕易就開啟FB跟Line，浪費時間聊天、回應跟po文。這也就是《Atomic Habits》一書提過的概念，增加行為的難度，步驟變多可以幫助戒除壞習慣，不妨試看看設一個複雜到不行的密碼。

 話說回來，FB也是我獲取資訊的來源之一，追蹤一些感到興趣的人事物，看有哪些書值得一讀。所以，不是要盲目地禁止使用FB，而是要有目的的利用，不然我們的注意力只會淪為一筆供人獲利的大數據。

 即使不買書，光是看官方網站(Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky)就可以掌握大部份的要義，立即閱讀Burner List 。
