Czym jest Zen To Done (ZTD)? Odpowiemy na to pytanie nieco przewrotnie, nie tłumacząc bezpośrednio, lecz podając tylko jeden przykł gdyby Syzyf zastosował ZTD, wtoczyłby na górę ten przeklęty kamień i ruszył do innych zaległych zadań.Autor tej książki był kiedyś osobą niezwykle nieuporządkowaną. Na jego biurku zalegały stosy papierów, jego skrzynkę e-mailową zalewały setki wiadomości, na które nie był w stanie odpowiedzieć (czasem nawet nie wiedział, że je otrzymał!), zaś lista zadań „na dziś” nie miała końca. Był zły, zestresowany i brakowało mu poczucia mocy. Sfrustrowany, odkrył wreszcie Davida Allena z jego systemem Getting Things Done i… uprościł system. Tak powstał najprostszy sposób porządkowania spraw do załatwienia, który Leo Babauta nazwał Zen To Done. Poznaj go (poświęć mu chwilę, ta książka jest naprawdę krótka), zmień nawyki i ciesz się — Twoje życie stanie się o wiele prostsze!

"What is a minimalist life? It's one that is stripped of the unnecessary, to make room for that which gives you joy. It's a removal of clutter in all its forms, leaving you with peace and freedom and lightness. A minimalist values quality, not quantity, in all forms." So writes Leo Babauta, the creator of Zen Habits and author of The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life. A joy to read, this little book will help you clear out clutter, be content with less, and simplify your life--with tips on everything from creating a minimalist workspace to going paperless. In short, it will help you enjoy a simpler, happier life!

This handbook is a collection of some of my best articles from ZenHabits.net. It provides you with hundreds of tips for improving your life through simplicity, productivity, and happiness. At the request of my readers, I've hand-picked the articles and put them together for you in an easy to read format.When I first started out in my adult life, 17 years ago, it would have been nice if someone I respected had given me a handbook, with all the essential topics covered in a how-to format. It would have taught me to simplify my life, which I've learned to do in the last few years. It would have talked about the essentials of happiness, and how to be productive and achieve my dreams.Of course, life doesn't come with such a handbook, but that didn't stop me from trying to create one. I hope this handbook will be of some use to you and help you achieve your dreams too. Choose the articles that apply best to your life, and give them a try. I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

One of the most important things I’ve learned in the last 7 years has been how to find contentment.It’s been a long journey, but I’ve enjoyed it. I struggled with feeling bad about my body, feeling insecure about myself, doubting my abilities to make it without an employer, doubting myself as a writer, not believing I had discipline or the ability to change my habits.And all this led to other problems: I sought happiness and pleasure in food, beer, shopping, distraction, TV. I procrastinated, I let my health get bad, I smoked, I was deeply in debt, unhappy with my work, never exercised, and ate lots of junk food.Not a pretty picture. But if I’d never been in that place, I wouldn’t understand how to get out of it. And so I’m grateful I was there. I’ve learned a lot, about myself and about how to find happiness in who I am, what I have, who I’m with, what I do, and all that’s around me.And now, I’d like to share that with you.I’ve written a free book called The Little Book of Contentment: A guide to becoming happy with life & who you are, while getting things done. I share it with you today, in hopes that it will help a few of you, or maybe many, who struggle with being happy with yourselves and your lives. It’s a more common problem than you might imagine, and if I can help just a little, that would be amazing.I hope you like the book.

This is a book of 52 changes you can make in a year, one per week.It’s not meant to be read all at once. Instead, consider browsing through it but focusing on one small chapter per week. Open the book the following week and focus on a second chapter, and so on. We’ll call it single-tasking.You don’t need to make all the changes in this book. You can easily pick 10 things, or 20, and focus on those, and do some of them for 2-3 weeks. You could pick 12 and do one per month.This is a book of the 52 changes that I’ve made that I think matter most. Why are there exactly 52, instead of 45 or 73? It’s a convenience — 52 weeks in a year, 52 changes, one per week. I could have picked 12, but that would have been less fun!

I’ve long wanted to put together a motivation book -- I get emails and comments from readers every day in need of motivation to reach a goal, to stay focused, to exercise, to be productive, to just get up off their butts and do something.But I wanted to add something, add value greater than I already offer on Zen Habits.And so I turned to Eric Hamm of the Motivate Thyself blog, and found the perfect partner for this book.Eric writes about motivation all the time -- it’s the lifeblood of his blog, and what he lives every day. He knows motivation as well as I do.The two of us have accomplished a lot, working for others and working for ourselves. We’ve had plenty of failures, and through these failures have learned tons about motivation, and about ourselves.It’s from these failures that we’ve gathered the attitudes and methods that actually work, that have given us the motivation needed to achieve our goals.It’s our hope that we’ll pass on some of this practical advice to you, and that you’ll go on to use it to achieve great things yourself. Even if you’ve already achieved great things, at the very least I know this book will serve as a basic reminder and give you a little shove when you need it.I recommend using this book like read it in little bits, and put them into action. And when you need a bit of motivation, pull it up and read some more, and then get your butt into action again.Good luck, my friends, and may all your dreams become reality!

Ar būsite iš tų, kurie palinksės ir pasakys: „įdomios mintys", o tada gyvens kaip gyvenę?O gal pasižadėsite ugdyti įprotį atsisakyti žalingų idėjų ir įsitikinimų, o tada stebėti, ar tai padeda keisti gyvenimą į gerąją pusę?Imkimės veiksmų kartu ir greitai pastebėsite, kad mažiau pykstate, rečiau susierzinate ir nusiviliate.Rečiau norėsite, kad viskas būtų kitaip, nei yra, rečiau svarstysite, išmoksite gyventi čia ir dabar.„Ši knyga pasakoja apie vieną vertingiausių šių laikų įrankių – ĮGŪDĮ paleisti ir susitelkti.
