We both worked in the tech industry for a long time. The work was exciting and rewarding, but the always-connected culture and back-to-back meeting schedule left little time for our priorities.
So we decided to do something about it. We took what we learned from designing apps like Gmail and YouTube, and came up with simple ways to fight distraction and take back control. We looked at the success of our design sprint process, and saw principles that anyone could apply to make better use of their time.
