Simplify Team Productivity With Zen to Done (ZTD)

"GTD enables greater performance, capacity, and innovation. It alleviates the feeling of overwhelm---instilling focus, clarity, and confidence."
---David Allen at Getting Things Done(1)
"A paradox has emerged in this new millennium: people have enhanced quality of life, but at the same time they are adding to their stress levels by taking on more than they have resources to handle."
"If you've been having trouble with GTD, as great as it is, ZTD might be just for you. It focuses on the habit changes necessary for GTD, in a more practical way, and it focuses on doing, on simplifying, and on adding a simple structure."
---Leo Babauta at Zen Habits(2)
"[...] It's almost like dieting or exercise --- if you don't adopt successful habit change methods, you will keep failing and eventually get discouraged and quit."(3)
"At its core, productivity porn is a form of procrastination. When we don't feel like working, planning and reading act as illusionary substitutes: they give us the illusion of productivity."
---Anne-Laure Le Cunff at Ness Labs(4)
"[...] once you find a good set of routines that work for you, if you can stick with them for 30 days, it will become a habit. And you will find yourself feeling much calmer and in control of your life."
---Leo Babauta at Zen Habits(3)
