Leo Babauta writes a blog called Zen Habits where he espouses how life can be made more productive and with less stress by simplifying and eliminating the inessential. This is a powerful message in our times of information overload and people being overwhelmed by their complicated lives. Some might see parts of this message as being obvious or common sense but common sense isn't as common as it should be. My perspective is that the basics sometimes need to be reinforced so you move from knowing to doing. The keys to success aren't necessarily complicated. You just need to be clear on your priorities and have the discipline to focus your attention on what is important to you.
First you can start at no cost by reading his Zen Habits blog, The Power of Less web site, Write to Done web site, Minimalist blog, and checking out his free ebook, Thriving on Less. Of course if all these sources are too much, just pick one, such as the Beginners Guide to Zen Habits from the Zen Habits blog which has the most information to pick from or the Power of Less web site, which has a good summary of the latest and greatest resources.
If all this free stuff appeals to you Leo has also written several books/ebooks that provide the "Do-How" of simplifying and focussing on what is most important to you.
The Power of Less hard cover book is something you can settle down and read away from the computer.
