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.

• Return to the task at hand when your mind wanders.

• Do only one thing at a time.

• Finish what you begin now – not later.

• Still unnecessary chatter.

• Pay attention.
