Zen to Done

by Leo Babauta

Babauta's simplification of Getting Things Done: ten habits (collect, process, plan, do, simple trusted system, organise, review, simplify, routine, find your passion) adopted one at a time. It fixes the reason most people abandon GTD: trying to install everything at once.

Read it if…

GTD overwhelmed you and you want the essentials as habits, one per month.

Skip it if…

you run full GTD happily; this is the lite version.

Three things you will actually use

  1. One habit at a time or none at all.
  2. Three most important tasks a day.
  3. Simplicity is what makes a system survive.

Do this first

Adopt only 'collect' for the first month: one notebook, everything in it.

Our verdict

GTD, one habit at a time.
