J.P. M.

“Peter’s method will have you making progress towards your goals, rather than grinding through another quarter and being able to say ‘I made it’ but without having navigated meaningfully in any particular direction, or being able to tick a goal off of the list.”

Sharon W.

“After so many years of trying, I finally have a good framework in place for planning my life.”

Drew D.

“For anyone interested in improving themselves and using technology to help avoid procrastination and to take action to achieve their goals, this is the course.”
