Praise for the Previous Edition

"I cannot recommend this video series enough. There is content here for everyone, no matter what your level of prior exposure to productivity techniques..."

- Lee Garrett, Productivityist.com and MyProductiveMac.com

"Zen & The Art of Work [previous name for Being Productive] is one of (if not the) best demonstrations of how these principles can lead to the calm, intentional practice of getting work done that matters."

- Joe Buhlig, Author of Working with OmniFocus

"Zen & the Art of Work [previous name for Being Productive] is a guided exploration as well as quite a hard core set of instructions into optimizing your work. But rather than focusing on productivity, as most approaches do, it focuses on the quality of the work you can do, by working on the entire set-up around and about your work which will lead to better, deeper, more meaningful and ultimately more productive work. Because at the end of the day, what does productivity matter if it does not lead to more relevant results for you, right?

"In this approach, Kourosh Dini, the author of Zen & the Art of Work, goes beyond some of the ideas that are presented in Getting Things Done (more commonly known as GTD) by David Allen. In my opinion, he comes closer to the essence of the Taoist thoughts that underlie the GTD approach."

- Ben Broeckx, ExploringTheBlackBox.org

What is Being Productive?

Being Productive gives you the exercises to find calm focus at work and at home. You’ll get a series of videos, each with a simple, but powerful, exercise to build into your day.

Being Productive is a clear presentation of core productivity techniques, separated from any tool or heavy theory. You can use pen and paper or a complex task system, either way. The concepts remain the same.

• No task system knowledge or computer applications are necessary.
  
• Learn exercises for finding relaxed, heightened attention.
  
• Form useful habits gradually.
  
• Learn ways to dive deep into work.
  
• Build a simple trusted system.
  
• Find calm even with due dates.
  
• Take large projects along a path of mastery.
  
• Integrates easily with most any productivity method or task system, though neither are required.
  

If you’re looking for a solid course on how to be productive, this is it. It condenses years of therapy, creativity, meditation, work on productivity and more into a set of 14 exercises with the highest production values I could muster.
