Course Description

Your calendar is jam-packed, but your work feels stuck. One minute you’re answering Slack, the next you’re lost in spreadsheets, and by day’s end you can’t remember what actually moved forward. You’re not alone:

  • The average digital worker toggles between apps ≈1,200 times a day, bleeding almost 4 hours each week just to “re-orient” after every switch.  
  • A 2021 survey found most knowledge workers juggle 10 apps and 25 context-switches daily, missing more than a quarter of their deadlines.  
  • Worse, all that hopping costs up to 5 hours of productivity every single week.  

Productivity Pod is a six-week, live-guided sprint that replaces scattered workflows with a single, end-to-end operating system. You’ll map the mental “brain pathways” that turn ideas into action, design rock-solid routines, tame communication chaos, and build an engine that keeps humming—even when you’re offline.

Who this course is perfect for

  • Founders & freelancers wearing every hat and craving more head-space
  • Remote and hybrid teams drowning in pings, meetings, and duplicated work
  • Operators & chiefs-of-staff tasked with streamlining messy processes
  • Knowledge workers who start Monday with energy and end Friday wondering where it went

If you’ve ever closed your laptop feeling exhausted yet weirdly unaccomplished, this course is built for you.

What you’ll master inside:

  • Brain Pathways – capture every idea, route it to the right place, and act before momentum fades.
  • Life Structure – craft daily and weekly rhythms that lock in flow and banish firefighting.
  • Communication Loops – turn pings, emails, and meetings into crisp, low-friction signals.
  • Ruthless Tools Audit – trim app bloat, keep only what boosts focus, and stop context-switch leaks.
  • Engine Operations – connect your personal system to team dashboards so progress continues when you step away.

By the end of six weeks

You’ll walk out with a fully built, battle-tested productivity OS that:

  • Wins back 5-10 hours every week
  • Gives a holistic, at-a-glance view of your entire workload
  • Keeps projects moving without midnight check-ins
  • Frees your brain for strategy, creativity, and—yes—life outside the screen

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

If you have any questions you can't find answer from, reach out to us directly by email.

How much time do I need to set aside each week?

Plan on 60–90 minutes of guided implementation every week. Most students reclaim that time — and more — by Week 2.

Do I need to use specific apps or software?

Nope. The frameworks are tool-agnostic. Whether you’re on Notion, Google Workspace, pen-and-paper, or a Franken-stack of all three, you’ll learn how to audit and optimise what you already have.

Is this course only for founders and freelancers?

Not at all. Founders and solopreneurs love it, but we also see operators, chiefs-of-staff, creatives, and corporate teams who want to ditch fire-fighting and work with more intent.

What results can I realistically expect?

Most graduates report winning back 5–10 productive hours a week, halving context-switching, and feeling far clearer on priorities. You’ll finish with a fully built personal operating system that keeps those gains rolling long after the course ends.

OUR MISSION
To help you grow from $0 to $1M, without burning out.

Are you a first-founder who is ready to grow, but can’t quite seem to find a path forward?

Maybe you are...

  • Working lots of hours but not finding momentum
  • Not sure where to spend your hours for max efficiency
  • Wanting to build a solid foundation but you aren’t sure where to start

Look I get it. 

After five intense years of running a successful multi-million-dollar design agency, I hit a major roadblock. Burnout didn't just knock on my door—it barged right in and left me bedridden for three days straight. I didn't want to get up or face the world. Lying there, I thought to myself, "Okay, this is enough."

The next day, I made the immensely tough decision to let go of all my employees. I knew I needed a break—a real one—to rethink my priorities and figure out what I truly wanted in life.

That sparked something in me. 🔥

That constant drive helped me find success, but it also led me straight into burnout.

I finally realised that building a successful business wasn't just about working hard, it was about transforming your mindset and having great process for your personal and professional life.

That gave me the foundation for everything that I build next.

If you are like me, you want to be the best founder possible.

  • You want to unlock a new level of effectiveness and fulfilment.
  • You want to feel motivated and excited every day.
  • You want to feel confident and prepared for growth.

Meaning that you want to prioritise what matters, manage your emotions like a boss, and build habits that support your business growth. You are in the right place.
