I subscribe to Zen Habits and recently came across a post that resonated so strongly with me, that I promptly printed it out and hung it in front of my desk on my wall.

It is the 60 word guide to life, and while being profoundly simple, resonates some clear-cut ways in how to really get the most out of our earthly experiences. In a future post, I will try discuss how this guide can be used in running a business better, without decreasing productivity.

“Smile, breath, and go slowly.”

less TV, more reading

less shopping, more outdoors

less clutter, more space

less rush, more slowness

less consuming, more creating

less junk, more real food

less busywork, more impact

less driving, more walking

less noise, more solitude

less focus on the future, more on the present

less work, more play

less worry, more smiles

breathe
