Become Super Productive
A self-paced course built with Greg Hartle. No longer offered.
This page exists to preserve the record. The course is not for sale and has not been updated. The framework below is included because some of the ideas have aged well and have informed how I think about work since.
What it taught
How to do more, stress less, and live well, framed around a single model that addressed both external obstacles (tools, workflow) and internal ones (energy, mindset). Action-based rather than purely theoretical, aimed at people who had consumed plenty of productivity literature without translating it into practice.
The STEM model
- S
Systems
How you organize your work and commitments.
- T
Tools
What you use to get the work done.
- E
Energy
How you replenish what the work demands.
- M
Mindset
What you believe about yourself and the work.

Who it was for
People who struggled with timely task completion, were easily distracted, doubted themselves on big projects, procrastinated, or got stuck in analysis paralysis. People who had read the productivity books and still could not consistently put what they read into practice.
