It can also fit well with a system you already have. Followers of the mailing list should have already received (or will receive soon) the Introduction module.  If you're interested in getting the free sample, as well as samples of *Creating Flow with OmniFocus* and *Workflow Mastery*, [sign up here](http://www.zenandtheartofwork.com/#course).  You can also watch the Introduction in the embed below. \[/et\_pb\_text\]\[/et\_pb\_column\]\[/et\_pb\_row\]\[et\_pb\_row admin\_label="row" make\_fullwidth="off" use\_custom\_width="off" width\_unit="off" custom\_width\_px="1080px" custom\_width\_percent="80%" use\_custom\_gutter="off" gutter\_width="3" padding\_mobile="off" allow\_player\_pause="off" parallax="off" parallax\_method="on" make\_equal="off" column\_padding\_mobile="on" parallax\_1="off" parallax\_method\_1="on" parallax\_2="off" parallax\_method\_2="on" parallax\_3="off" parallax\_method\_3="on" parallax\_4="off" parallax\_method\_4="on"\]\[et\_pb\_column type="4\_4"\]\[et\_pb\_image admin\_label="Image" src="https://www.kouroshdini.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Zen-cover-slide-400.jpg" show\_in\_lightbox="off" url\_new\_window="off" use\_overlay="off" animation="left" sticky="off" align="center" force\_fullwidth="off" always\_center\_on\_mobile="on" url="http://ZenandtheArtofWork.com" use\_border\_color="off" border\_color="#ffffff" border\_style="solid"\] \[/et\_pb\_image\]\[/et\_pb\_column\]\[/et\_pb\_row\]\[et\_pb\_row admin\_label="row" make\_fullwidth="off" use\_custom\_width="off" width\_unit="off" custom\_width\_px="1080px" custom\_width\_percent="80%" use\_custom\_gutter="off" gutter\_width="3" padding\_mobile="off" allow\_player\_pause="off" parallax="off" parallax\_method="on" make\_equal="off" column\_padding\_mobile="on" parallax\_1="off" parallax\_method\_1="on" parallax\_2="off" parallax\_method\_2="on" parallax\_3="off" parallax\_method\_3="on" parallax\_4="off" parallax\_method\_4="on"\]\[et\_pb\_column type="4\_4"\]\[et\_pb\_text admin\_label="Text" background\_layout="light" text\_orientation="left" use\_border\_color="off" border\_color="#ffffff" border\_style="solid"\] The video course contains 16 individual modules with 14 exercises (plus an introduction and a conclusion video). The course is the product of many years of work with clients, a compilation of ideas from therapy, many popular productivity ideas, meditation, creativity, and more. *Zen & The Art of Work* marks the third piece in the work efficiency trilogy which began with *Creating Flow with OmniFocus* and *Workflow Mastery*.
