			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In keeping with the theme of simplicity and streamlining productivity I thought I would pass along the lead for the eBook Zen Habits &#8211; Handbook for Life. <a href="http://zenhabits.net" target="_blank">Zen Habits</a> is a blog that I have recently started to follow and enjoy. Leo Babauta is a father of six, is working his way out of debt, holds down a job, freelances on the side as well as run a very successful blog.</p>
<p>Anyone who can do all of that, keep their sanity and still find time to enjoy life is someone who has some tips that could be useful and real to say.</p>
<p>This eBook has a nice layout, is easy to read and I found it too be very thought provoking, here is peek at what he covers in this eBook:</p>
<p><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/VALUED~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/VALUED~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" /><strong>Section 1: Simplicity</strong><span id="more-49"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Decluttering</li>
<li>Single-tasking</li>
<li>Edit Your Commitments</li>
<li>Eliminate All But the Essentials</li>
<li>Don’t Do Everything on Your To-do List</li>
<li>The Art of Doing Nothing</li>
<li>Declutter Your Mind</li>
<li>72 Simplicity Tips</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>Section 2: Productivity</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Purpose Your Day: Most Important Tasks</li>
<li>Focus on the Big Rocks</li>
<li>Clear Out Your Inbox</li>

</ul>
<p>This &#8220;little&#8221; 76 page eBook is actuall a collection of blog posts from Leo&#8217;s blog but at only $6.95 the time saver of having it all in one place, for me it was a no-brainer.</p>

<p>There are pages of tips and ideas that are easy to understand and implement. It&#8217;s not heavy reading which makes it fun and easy to read. In just a short time I have seen how it has helped me to change how I view my day, the tools I use to organize my time and the vision of how my business will be run in the future. I highly recommend this eBook and Leo&#8217;s blog, <a href="http://zenhabits.net">http://zenhabits.net</a></p>
