I’m a big fan of Zen Habits. I think that is the only blog I read religiously and throughout. Leo Babauta does a great job writing about what’s important in life and how to tackle it from every perspective (professional and personal). So it was a wonderful thing to find today, that he’s having a book titled The Power of Less coming out on December 30th, and that there is a new year’s challenge for people who want to commit to it.

The Power of Less Challenge is a community created so people can commit to a new habit every 30 days, and do it publicly. From playing the guitar to exercising (the most popular so far), people are joining the forums to make changes in their life. What I like the most about this premise is that we have to commit to just ONE habit forming so we won’t overwhelm ourselves.

The idea is just to follow these 9 Simple Rules to Form a Habit and keep in touch with the community to track progress. Just what a needed, a little step for better things and a moon landing.
