Welcome to season 3 of the Zen Habits Podcast!

In our pursuit of productivity, it's easy to get lost in the endless cycle of doing more, often at the cost of our mental and emotional well-being. Many of us find ourselves trapped by distractions, procrastination, and the pressure to constantly produce. However, traditional productivity methods may not address the deeper issues that hold us back from meaningful and impactful work.

In this new season, titled "The Zen of Productivity", we'll explore how Zen principles can transform our approach to work and productivity. We'll discuss how to bring mindfulness into our daily routines, create simple yet powerful systems, and tackle common challenges like resistance, burnout, and lack of focus. By integrating Zen into our productivity practices, we can cultivate a sense of presence and purpose in our work, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Join me as we explore how to merge the best of productivity strategies with the wisdom of Zen to achieve a deeper, more impactful approach to our work.
