This book introduces the concept of Time Surfing, a seven-step method rooted in Zen Buddhism. It aims to help readers manage their time more effectively by making the most of the time they have, rather than trying to control it. The approach includes tips such as focusing on one task at a time, making time for 'breathers' throughout the day, and trusting intuition over to-do lists. The book is designed to help readers find peace and calm in their daily activities, whether at work or home, and to enhance their creativity and efficiency.
