Outlines of Zen To Done.

The 10 Habits of ZTD

  1. ubiquitous capture: take notes with a small notebook, a small stack of index cards, or a mobile phone, and empty them into your todo list when go back.
  2. make quick decisions on things in your inbox, do not put them off.
  3. set MITs for week, day.
  4. do one task at a time, without distractions.
  5. simple trusted system: keep simple lists, check daily. Keep it simple, and focus on what you have to do right now, not on playing with your system or your tools.
  6. keeps your desk clear so you can focus on your work. Put things where they belong, right away, instead of piling them up to sort later.
  7. review your system & goals weekly.
  8. reduce your goals & tasks to essentials. Avoid unnecessary work.
  9. set and keep routines.
  10. find your passion.
