Dear Readers,

I’m excited to announce that Being Productive: Simple Steps to Calm Focus is now available!.

Note, if you own the Zen & The Art of Work course, you’ll get the new course for free. Being Productive is a free upgrade. Just go to your Gumroad account, and it’ll be there.

 

What is Being Productive?

Being Productive is the simplest presentation of my workflow, separated from any tool or heavy theory. You can use pen and paper or a complex task system, either way. The concepts remain the same. It is my core productivity set.

If you’re looking for a solid course on how to be productive, this is it. It condenses years of therapy, creativity, meditation, work on productivity and more into a set of 14 exercises with the highest production values I could muster.

If you enjoyed Creating Flow with OmniFocus but are looking for something to instead give you an overall picture of productivity, this is it. If you enjoyed Workflow Mastery, but just want to get at the meat of doing work, this is it.
