Finally Get on Top of Things With a Trusted Productivity System That Lasts a Lifetime

It’s 2 a.m. and you’re awake…

Not because of the coffee.

Because your brain just reminded you, in that cruel, crystal-clear way it only does at 2 a.m., that you forgot to follow up with that client.

That really important client, who reached out three days ago.

So you grab your phone and email yourself. Again. 

A one-line message that’ll sit in your inbox alongside the other 47 things you’ve emailed yourself about this month.

(Half of which you’ve already lost track of.)

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it in the morning.

But you won’t. Not really.

Because in the morning, you’ll open your laptop to 63 unread emails, back-to-back meetings starting at 9 a.m., and a to-do list so long you don’t even look at it anymore.

You’ll spend the day putting out fires, responding to what’s loudest, and saying “yes” to things you should say “no” to — because you don’t have enough visibility on your own priorities to know the difference.

By 6 p.m., you’ll look back and wonder: 

What did I actually accomplish today?

And this isn’t a bad day. This is a normal day.

Meanwhile, the things that would actually change your career, your business, your life — the strategic project, the big initiative, the important-but-not urgent work — those keep getting pushed to next week. Then to next month, and then to next year.

You know this. You’ve known it for a while. It’s what you think about on Sunday nights, when the week ahead looms and you already feel behind before it’s even started.

And here’s what keeps you up even more than the forgotten client email:

You’re succeeding in spite of how you work. Not because of it.

Which means you’re working harder than you should be. Missing things you shouldn’t be missing. And leaving an uncomfortable amount of your potential on the table — every single week.

What would happen if you got a promotion or a new business opportunity with even more responsibility?

What happens when the pace picks up and your current “system” (of keeping it all in your head) finally, catastrophically, breaks down?

Because it will. The only question is when. And what it’ll cost you.

A missed deadline that embarrasses you in front of leadership. A dropped ball that costs you a client. A Saturday spent doing damage control while your kids are at the park with you.

Or maybe nothing that dramatic. Maybe it’s just… this. Forever.

The low-grade stress. The constant feeling that you’re one forgotten task away from disaster. The quiet knowledge that you’re capable of so much more — if you could just get your arms around it all.

Every week without a real system isn’t just a week of discomfort. It’s a week of your best, most strategic, highest-leverage work that simply doesn’t happen. 

Multiply that by a year. By five years. That’s not a productivity problem anymore. That’s a different trajectory for your entire career — and your entire life.

You’ve tried to fix this.

You’ve downloaded the apps — maybe bounced between three or four of them over the years. You’ve watched the videos. You’ve started fresh on Sunday night, full of optimism.

It never sticks.

Not because you lack discipline.

But because building a productivity system alone, one tip at a time, one YouTube video at a time, is like assembling furniture with no instructions, using pieces from three different boxes.

There’s an easier way.

You’ve already tried the hard way. Here’s why it didn’t work.

Be honest: how many times have you “started fresh” with a new productivity system?

Downloaded a new app. Watched a course. Read a book. Set everything up on a Sunday night, full of optimism. Told yourself this time will be different.

And then, two weeks later, the app was collecting dust, the system was half-finished, and you were right back to keeping everything in your head.

This isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a method problem.

Trying to cobble together a productivity system from random YouTube videos and blog posts is like trying to get in shape by watching fitness content on your couch.

The information might be excellent.

But without someone to assess where you are, to design a plan for your situation, to watch your form, and adjust when something isn’t working — you’ll just keep starting and stopping forever.

I’ve been teaching productivity for over seven years. I’ve helped more than 5,000 people — from business owners to a Harvard Business School professor to a billionaire with a family office with hundreds of staff.

I’ve seen every version of this pattern.

And the pattern is always the same:

The people who get results aren’t the ones who consume the most content. They’re the ones who get personalized guidance.

Someone who looks at their specific role, tools, bottlenecks, and habits — and says: “Here’s what you need to do. In this order. Start here. Skip that. Come back to me when you’re stuck.”

That’s the difference between another false start and a system that’s still running a year from now.

That’s the Trusted System program.

How the Trusted System program works

The Trusted System program is a 12-week guided experience that gets your entire productivity system — apps, habits, workflows, routines, everything — installed and running. 

No more trial and error, false starts, or figuring it out alone.

Step 1: Diagnosis

Before I advise you on what to do, I need to understand your world.

You’ll fill out a detailed intake form: your role, your tools, your biggest bottlenecks, how your days actually look, and where things break down.

Think of it like a doctor’s visit: I won’t prescribe you anything until I know what’s wrong.

Based on your answers, I’ll build your personalized roadmap. Not a generic curriculum everyone follows. Your plan. The specific steps, in the right sequence, for your situation.

This alone is worth your investment.

Because it eliminates the single biggest reason people fail at productivity: they follow generic advice that wasn’t designed for their life.

Step 2: Guided installation

This is where everything changes.

You’ll follow your roadmap — picking the right to-do app (and setting it up properly, not just downloading it), building workflows that match how you actually work, establishing the daily and weekly habits that make your whole system self-reinforcing.

But here’s the critical difference: you won’t be doing it alone.

Every week, you’ll have direct access to me:

• “Which to-do app should I use?” I’ll tell you, based on your specific needs. Whether it’s Things, Todoist, OmniFocus, or some other app — we’ll make sure you set it up correctly, rather than simply downloading an app and leaving everything on default.
• “I set up my system but it’s already getting messy.” I’ll diagnose why and fix it with you.
• “I can’t stick to my weekly review.” I’ll figure out what’s getting in the way and give you a version that actually works for your schedule.
• “I just signed a huge new client and everything changed.” We’ll adapt your system on the fly for your new reality.

This is the part where, in every previous attempt, you would have gotten stuck, gotten frustrated, and quietly abandoned the whole thing.

This time, you won’t, because the moment you hit a wall, you’ve got an expert on the other side of it.

Step 3: Reinforcement

A productivity system that works for only two weeks is worthless. You’ve already had plenty of those.

In this final phase, we’ll stress-test your system under real conditions and lock it in as second nature.

By week 12, you’re not “trying a new system”. You’re just… doing your work. The way you’ve always wanted to.

Here’s what you get for the full 12 weeks:

• Weekly live sessions with me. Every Tuesday. These aren’t passive webinars. They’re working sessions. Bring the thing that’s frustrating you and we’ll solve it in real time. Hot-seat coaching, Q&A, live troubleshooting. You’ll watch me diagnose and fix other members’ problems too — and you’ll be stunned how often their problem is exactly yours.
• Direct access between sessions. Stuck on a Thursday? Don’t wait until Tuesday. Post your question in the private members’ space and I’ll personally respond. This is like having a productivity expert on speed dial — except you won’t pay $1,000/hour, my usual rate, for it.
• Lifetime access to the curriculum and live session recordings. The lessons, frameworks, and resources on your roadmap are yours forever. Your career will evolve. Your responsibilities will change. Your system will need updates. The curriculum will be there whenever you need it.

What your life will look like 12 weeks from now:

You stop waking up at 2 a.m. Because everything — every task, every commitment, every follow-up, every half-formed idea — lives in a system you trust completely. Your brain can finally stop its frantic overnight inventory checks. You sleep like someone who’s in control. Because you are.

You know what to work on, every single day. Not a vague sense of “I have a lot to do”. Actual clarity. Three priorities, chosen deliberately. The strategic work that moves the needle — not just whatever’s screaming loudest. The “what did I even accomplish today?” feeling is gone.

Your inbox stops running your life. You’ll process email in minutes, not hours. Messages won’t pile up. Nothing will get lost. The low-grade anxiety of 847 unread messages? A memory.

The important-but-not-urgent work actually happens. The strategic project. The business plan. The creative work. The thinking that separates good from great in your career. It stops getting pushed to “next week” because your system protects time for it — automatically.

You stop app-hopping. One professional-grade to-do app — Things, Todoist, OmniFocus, or whichever fits your workflow best — set up properly. Configured for how you work, with a structure that stays clean even when the week gets chaotic. No more googling “best to-do app 2026” at midnight. No more starting over with a new app every six months.

You’ll discover productivity tools that feel like cheat codes. AI-powered meeting notes that write themselves while you talk. A to-do app that turns rambling voice notes into neatly structured tasks. A desktop assistant that organizes your files in the background. These tools exist right now — and most professionals have no idea. I curate productivity tools full-time so you don’t have to. You’ll get the ones that will make your work easier, and I’ll tell you exactly how to set them up.

Your weekly reviews actually happen. You’ll have a custom checklist built for your specific role and responsibilities (rather than a generic checklist you googled for). Every week, in less than 30 minutes, you’ll process your inboxes, reset your system, surface your priorities, and start Monday with total clarity. This single habit is the difference between a system that falls apart after a few weeks and one that lasts a lifetime.

Evenings and weekends become yours again. Not “yours but I’ll just check one thing”. Actually yours. Because work got handled during work hours, by someone who has a system for handling it. Your partner notices. Your kids notice.

You will trust your system — and it will stick. Because it wasn’t cobbled together from random tips on a Saturday afternoon. It was built for your specific life, with expert guidance, and stress-tested over 12 weeks until it became second nature. This isn’t yet another productivity sprint. It’s the last one you’ll need.
