What Students Are Saying:
“The things you suggest have changed my life. I was already a phone minimalist, but your book has transformed me into an early morning person who thinks hard about her Highlight for the day and makes it count.” —Michelle in England
“Make Time is changing my relationship to my work and to stress in general. The Highlight tactic has had the single biggest impact on my ability to focus. I’m leaving the office every day feeling like I’ve moved meaningful work forward.” —Lima in San Francisco
“I just finished the course, but it’s not an end, rather a new beginning with new tactics for a more focused life.” —Sarah in Texas
“Make Time has had a huge impact on a side project of mine. I have been working on a children’s book for years. But work was very slow and I sometimes wondered if I would finish the book before my kids were too old to read it. Enter Make Time. Since reading your book I have been working on my children’s book every night and loving it.” —Martin in Sweden
“Your book changed my life in 48 hours. I have started organizing my entire agenda around my Highlight of the day. I eliminated distractions by deleting most of the apps on my phone. I also created a new habit of using my smartphone only after the Highlight of the day is completed.” —Fred in Brazil
“Choosing a daily Highlight has helped me hush the busy bandwagon and leave the day feeling accomplished. This feeling of accomplishment leads into a more intentional evening with my kids, where we cook, clean and read together. For the first time in a long time I have both hope and a plan to accomplish the long-term goals for my life.“ —Erica in Michigan
“Make Time has really helped me put things into perspective and spend more time with family.” —Vinnie in Boston

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When does the course start?
A: You can start anytime.
Q: Where does it take place?
A: The Highlight Course is entirely online.
Q: How is the course different from the book?
A: The book gives you the tools and tactics. With The Highlight Course, we’ll walk you through a personalized process of adopting those tools and tactics. You’ll create a healthy, sustainable habit of using the Highlight method and the rest of the Make Time framework to focus on what matters every single day. Not a one-time boost, but real changes to your daily routine.
Q: What if I haven’t read the book?
A: That’s okay. We designed The Highlight Course to work for people who are totally new to Make Time. But if you have already read the book, that’s even better—the course can help you personalize the framework and establish a truly sustainable habit of using the tactics in your daily life. (We offer a special price on the book for students in the course. It’s even cheaper than Amazon!)
Q: Can I move at my own pace?
A: Yes! The lessons will be released once a day according to the schedule above. If you fall behind, you can easily catch up. We recommend not working ahead, because the course schedule was carefully designed for maximum learning benefit, but if you ask nicely we can accelerate your lessons 🤓
