A simplicity manifesto in the Age of Distraction. Focus shows us how to find the focus among all the digital distractions in our world, so that we can create, focus on what''s important, and find time for quiet and contemplation.

Zen To Done is a system that is at once simple, and powerful. It will help you develop powerful habits:

• how to organize tasks and projects to keep your workday simple and structured• how to keep your desk and email inbox clean and clear• how to focus what you need to do without distraction

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, started a successful blog, and more.

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 this: 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!

The Zen Habits Handbook for Life is a compilation of Leo Babauta''s best articles on living from a Zen Habits perspective. What will this book teach you to do? Basically the same things that Zen Habits aims for overall: how to simplify your life, how to live a happier life, how to be more productive with less stress, how to achieve your dreams. The book includes chapters on decluttering, single-tasking, eliminating nonessentials, planning your day, clearing your inbox, getting motivated, cultivating compassion, boosting self-confidence, living consciously, and much more! Think of it as a little handbook for a better life.

This guide will show you how to find minimalism in all areas of your life: from decluttering your possessions and digital life to working less to finding time for what''s important.
