At Monk Manual, we’re on a mission to fix modern productivity and help people live full(er) lives. Inspired by the wisdom of monks, and rooted in psychology, we design practical tools for peaceful being and purposeful doing.

Today we often confuse busyness with productivity. But action does not always equal progress.

When productivity is measured merely by efficiency, output, and speed—it’s no wonder we often experience lives of anxiety, disconnection, and exhaustion. Life isn’t about getting to the end faster, it’s about being there the whole time—engaging each moment and doing our most important work.

At Monk Manual, we view work as a means to personal growth and fullness. We see everyday life as an exhilarating process of discovering and being discovered.

True productivity means investing our time in life's most important work, building meaningful connections with the people around us, and being a force of creativity in the world. And we’ve discovered that Monks are the perfect people for us to learn from.
