As makers - developers, designers, and others who make - we come to work to solve challenging problems, requiring uninterrupted periods of time to deeply focus. Yet focus is in short supply. Meetings, emails, chat and project management tools all compete for our time, distracting us. This is wasteful to us as humans, to businesses, and to the world. Great ideas don’t matter there’s no time to act on them.

This isn’t a talk about time and task management; it’s about practical examples and stories of how makers (and their managers) can free up time for focus. It’s time to take back our time!
