This is a blog written by a Guam-based writer Leo Babauta. If you want to get help implementing new habits or are trying to puzzle through Allen's Getting Things Done, browse through the top posts -- the 'motivation hacks' alone are worth the price of admission -- and if you can stick to the "one new habit at a time" rule, let me know your secret! Even more impressive, Leo has released all of his posts and the contents of his ebook, Zen To Done, into the public domain. (VF) From This is True for 16 August 2008 Suggestions for further reading:
 By: Leo Babauta List Price: $12.95 Amazon Price: $12.95 Editorial Review: Zen To Done (ZTD) is a system that is at once simple, and powerful, and will help you develop the habits that keep all of your tasks and projects organized, that keep your workday simple and structured, that keep your desk and email inbox clean and clear, and that keep you doing what you need to do, without distractions. This book was written for those who want to get their lives organized and actually execute the things on their to-do list by changing existing habits. And let me say that changing your habits is possible. Using the habit-changing techniques I describe in this book, I have made many habit changes: I quit smoking, started running, started eating healthier, completed a marathon, doubled my income and got my finances in order, have almost eliminated my debt now, completed a triathlon, lost more than 20 pounds, and started a successful blog, and more. Read this book. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish with this productivity system.  By: Leo Babauta List Price: $9.50 Amazon Price: $7.60 Editorial Review: Zen To Done takes the best aspects of a few popular productivity systems (Getting Things Done, 7 Habits and others) and combines them with the mandate of simplicity. It makes things as simple as possible, and no more. Zen To Done is a simple system to get you more organized and productive, and keep your life saner and less stressed, with a set of habits. ZTD teaches you: * The key habits needed to be productive, organized, and simplified... and no more than that. * How to implement these key habits... tips on forming a habit. * How to organize these habits into a simple system that will keep everything in your life in its place. * How to simplify what you need to do. * Includes an even simpler version called Minimal ZTD. Dozens of readers have written to me with comments about how ZTD has changed their lives, made them more organized and less stressed, and has worked better than other productivity systems. It?s definitely worth a try.  By: Leo Babauta List Price: $16.95 Amazon Price: $11.53 Editorial Review: The Power of Less is a blue print for taking our lives back from the clutter, noise, and unnecessary work that fills a modern day. Babauta lays out simple, concise steps for growth through increased productivity and teaches listeners the art of living simply. Encouraging listeners to place limits on themselves, his tips include: ? Focus only on the three most essential projects on your plate ? Limit yourself to one large goal at a time ? Keep your emails to just five sentences Babauta?s lessons enable listeners to do less, be more effective, get more done, and simplify their lives. His lessons on productivity will resonate with the listeners who made The 4-Hour Workweek a success. ?The Power of Less landed on my desk when?I felt like I was being stretched in a dozen different directions. Leo Babauta?s brilliantly simple recommendations on how to minimize the tasks that comprise one?s workday and reclaim one?s life from the clutter, was like stumbling upon an oasis in the desert. I think we?re often drawn to the books we need ? and if your life has ever felt like mine did that day, whether you know it or not, you also need The Power of Less.? ? Brendan Duffy, editor |
