Work Practice Guidelines

At the zendo we refer to our Work Practice Guidelines whenever we have a Work Practice period. Some practitioners have also found them useful at home and in workplaces.

Here are the Work Practice Guidelines we use at the zendo:

• Have a goal for your work. It is the catalyst for all action.
• Have a goal but have no achievement in sight. Let the action be the achievement.
• Be present - mindful. Pay Attention. Return to the task at hand when your mind wanders.
• Work with a still mind - stilling unnecessary chatter.
• Do only one thing at a time.
• Finish what you begin now - not later.
• Don't judge your work or the work of others.
• Pay attention.
