Blog history
[edit]Until approximately 2010, the blog focused largely on topics such as productivity and being organized, but Babauta later drifted away from these topics. In a post titled "Toss Productivity Out", published 6 September 2011, Babauta explicitly encouraged his readers to focus on simplifying their lives rather than getting more things done.[1]
Books
[edit]On November 6, 2007, an e-book called Zen To Done: The Ultimate Simple Productivity System was published, composed of some of Zen Habits' blog posts. On January 7, 2008, the Zen Habits blog and Zen to Done e-book were released into the public domain.[2]
In December 2014, Babauta self-published a book entitled Zen Habits: Mastering the Art of Change. In December 2015, he revised and re-published a concise version of the book as Essential Zen Habits.
Recognition
[edit]In February 2009, Time Magazine named Zen Habits one of the Top 25 Blogs for 2009,[3] and in June 2010, it named Zen Habits at the top of its list for the Top 25 Blogs for 2010.[4]
