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.

---

Zen To Done takes some of the best aspects of a few popular productivity systems (GTD, Stephen Covey, and others) and combines them with the mandate of simplicity. It makes things as simple as possible, and no more.

Buy the ZTD system in a handy eBook, with additional material, resources, and forms:

“I had always dabbled in trying to establish some sort of productivity habits, but GTD and everything similar seemed too intensive to realistically implement. ZTD and its simplicity make perfect sense to me.”
~Christopher

What is Zen To Done?

Simply put, ZTD teaches you:

1. The key habits needed to be productive, organized, and simplified … and no more than that.
2. How to implement these key habits … tips on forming a habit.
3. How to organize these habits into a simple system that will keep everything in your life in its place.
4. How to simplify what you need to do.
5. Minimal ZTD. Also includes an even simpler version called Minimal ZTD.

Thousands 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.

Formats: The version sold on this site comes in PDF format. There is also a Kindle version sold on Amazon. The print version sold on Amazon is not published by me.

“I’d say that the minimalist system is a safe first step. The beauty is, of course, that it needn’t be just a first step: it works as it is and some people don’t need to go any further.”
~Jeff
