Background - ZenHabits’ About Page
Achieving goals, productivity, being organized, GTD (Getting Things Done), motivation, eliminating debt, saving, getting a flat stomach, eating healthy, simplifying, living frugal, parenting, happiness, and successfully implementing good habits begins with Zen Habits. Leo Babauta is the man behind the success of this huge blog. Some of you readers might think he is a doctor, coach, or a consultant that have answers to everything, but he is just a father of six kids, a husband, and freelance writer that created Zen Habits for setting and achieving goals of others or his own.
Consisting of Zen habits in Leo’s life, he was able to achieve many of his own goals listed below:
- Quit smoking
- Became a runner
- Ran a marathon
- Began waking early
- Became organized
- Began eating healthy
- Became a vegan
- Doubled income
- Wrote a novel
- Took control of finances
- Began eliminating debt
- Began saving an emergency fund
- Simplified life
- Lost weight
- Began training for a triathlon
- Began commuting to work by bike
- Began the habit of clean-as-you-go

That sounds like a lot, and looking back on it, it is. But I didn’t tackle it all at once, and by building on and learning from each previous success, I was able to achieve each new challenge I set before myself. And I had a blast doing it (and still do).
Provides
ZenHabits.net provides the tips that many of us seek, but if we were to commit to the goals, we
must also follow Leo’s techniques. With 2-3 posts a week, Leo is really hitting it big time with over 20,000 unique visitors a day reading his tips and help on providing zen. I decided to give ZenHabits a try and I started reading one of his posts, A Simple Method To Avoid Being Judgmental, and he is absolutely correct about how we view strangers on their cover and not what is inside. His great steps surely made me realize that I am absolutely a judgmental person because I like to talk shi* about others and the way they look. Leo’s posts are such a huge help towards my life and surely would work for any other person. With each post he makes, he describes what needs to be changed in order to receive perfect zen. For example to the post I read, Leo points out that a person needs to be concerned with the following points:
- Don’t pass judgment
- Understand
- Accept
- Love
Everything is described in so much detail that any person can reach their full potential after reading the 2-3 posts a week.
A forum is also an addition that ZenHabits provide, where subscribers start conversations with each other discussing certain habits and what can be done. In addition to that, the forum is the place for the monthly Zen Habits Challenges, where any member may choose a habit and report daily on the productivity.
Inspiration
Leo is not the man he used to be now that he follows by what he says. He creates new habits when he feels that something needs to be changed. Usually when a person wants to do something new, it is only committed for about a week or so. Leo inspires many of us by the great feats he has accomplished and is still accomplishing because he feels he is just not there yet. It is difficult for a person to come forward blogging about their own life, but ZenHabits is available for everyone to receive tips and help to succeed.
The first habit we must commit to now is making ZenHabits.net our daily habit.
