A Simple And Powerful Approach To Tame Your Overwhelm
About the Book
In the fast-paced, ever-changing world we live in, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the myriad tasks and responsibilities that seem to demand our attention at any given moment. The Art of Agile Living™ provides a transformative solution, offering a simple and powerful approach to taming the chaos that often defines our daily lives.

It's about adopting a daily ritual that brings structure, clarity, and meaning to your day, allowing you to achieve more and reduce the overwhelm that so often plagues our modern existence. By implementing the Art of Agile Living method, you will gain control over your time, your projects, and ultimately, your life, enabling you to prioritize and accomplish your goals with ease and satisfaction.

Reader Testimonials

Dr. Mari Kira
Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Michigan
Many books offering advice on how to take hold of your life simply manage awake feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Not this book. It gently understands your struggles when trying to tame the chaos of the relentless overlapping demands of work and private life. It shows you steps to organize your tasks and life, taking you on a journey from chaos to Kanban. And all you need to take along to this journey is your thorough expertise of what you need to get done, and some post-it notes and pens.

As an Entrepreneur and consultant, one is always looking for ways to increase productivity and simply get stuff done. The environment is noisy and many claim to have the latest "life hack" . Tom and Helene are among those few that I listen to and whose advice I actually put to use. I was familiar with some of the agile methodology but they have helped me to acquire a deeper understanding of the concepts in PRACTICE. Which as we know is where it matters.
