This isn't a book about making your time more productive... this is a book being more productive with your time. Learn from a Zen monk how to find calm, be more present and get more out of the time you have.

Zen monk Paul Loomans presents a simple, seven-step antidote to the fast pace of modern life, using Zen principles to prioritise tranquillity. Learn to surf over the waves of time.
The fast pace of the modern world brings new pressures on our time, leaving us feeling anything from fatigued to burnt out, as spare time is swallowed up by late working hours, smartphones and social media.

Zen monk Paul Loomans has devised a unique seven-step plan that will inspire you to rediscover the calm in your life. Rooted in Zen Buddhism, "Time Surfing" places an emphasis on making the most of the time you have, rather than trying to control time itself. Discover how to:

  • Do one thing at a time, and finish what you're doing
  • Be aware of what you're doing and accept it
  • Create breathers between activities
  • Give your full attention to drop-ins, creating a relationship with everything you want to do
  • Become aware of "gnawing rats" and transform them into "white sheep"
  • Observe your own background programs
  • Use your intuition when choosing what to do

From focusing on one thing at a time and - more radically - tearing up lists and learning to trust your intuition, Time Surfing will help to enhance your creativity and to get more done. By choosing peace as the basis for your daily activities, you will gain perspective, enjoy your work, become more effective and stay healthy.

As an inner sense of tranquillity arises in every area of your life, this book will change the way you live and work - for good.
