"Zen to done" von Leo Babauta verspricht eine Vereinfachung von David Allens "Getting things done", unter Berücksichtigung anderer erfolgreicher Ratgeber. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen liege hier der Fokus auf "machen", nicht auf "organisieren" - aber um zu machen, muss vorher natürlich organisiert werden. Die Tipps und Ratschläge, um organisierter zu werden, leuchten ein (insbesondere, nur eine oder Gewohnheit zu einer Zeit zu verändern), sind aber auch nichts wirklich neues - und in einem Job, in dem die Hälfte der Arbeitszeit sowieso fest verplant ist, auch nicht 1:1 umsetzbar. Bezüglich des "Zen" kommt auch genau einmal das Wort "Achtsamkeit" im Text vor - hier hat meiner Meinung nach jemand seinen Ratgeber-Blog erfolgreich versilbert (denn im Kern dient die ganze Produktivitätsverbesserung schließlich dazu, mehr Geld zu verdienen). Es war nochmal eine weitere Erinnerung an sinnvolle Prinzipien, mehr aber auch nicht. A simple system and a lot of excellent ideas. But I'm unconvinced by "Find your passion." What if the things you love to do are enjoyable precisely *because* you don't *have* to do them to keep your family housed and fed? What if the thing you're most moved to do is something that you're unlikely to earn a living wage doing? (Homemaker? Stay-at-home parent? Lay ministry for your church? Mentoring children from troubled homes?) What about the jobs that few people love but that need to be done? I also find the "one goal at a time", "do your MITs first", etc. approach unrealistic for someone who has both work and home interests and responsibilities. So, if one of your kids is having issues that call for parental help, you should either forget about setting any goals at work because you're focusing on the goal of helping your kid through their problems, or you should ignore your kid, have your spouse deal with it all, and focus on a work goal? The example ZTD day is that of a guy who works at home, has children, and appears to do only one thing with his entire day that involves housework/family -- make his kids' lunches; is his wife handling every single other thing involved in keeping their household running and their home maintained?? This extreme level of focus seems to depend on having someone else in your life whose job is to be unfocused and to handle the myriad little things that can't be simplified away. Which is not to say that the book's ideas are worthless; Babauta raises many good points, and it's certainly a compact and easy read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Zen To Done (ZTD) is a system that is at once simple, and powerful, and will help you develop the habits that keep all of your tasks and projects organized, that keep your workday simple and structured, that keep your desk and email inbox clean and clear, and that keep you doing what you need to do, without distractions. 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, and started a successful blog, and more.Read this book. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish with this productivity system. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I would only recommend this to a person who has NEVER read a blog post or a book on how to be productive. Otherwise, you pretty much know all the stuff here. It emphasizes the simplification of your productivity system.
Since I have loads of tasks to do that have deadlines (from school), I have no problem being organized. I use the iPhone app iStudiez Pro for scheduling all school work/exams/courses/lectures...etc. That's it. No calendars, no notepads, nothing. But whenever the weekend comes and I need to do personal errands/tasks, things get messy. I am currently working on a project and I need to organize my time and be efficient and effective, which is why I read this book in the first place. A friend of mine recommended I use asana.com, and I am currently using it. It's great and easy to use. Let's hope I stick to it!
Best advice this book has:
Keep things simple.
If you're comfortable with a notebook and a pencil, use that only. Don't be attracted to constantly trying out new systems, since that will waste your time.
Set 1 goal a year, or 2-3 max, and don't set goals that you do not really want to achieve. That will only distract you from your real goals.
