Managing Your Energy, Not Time, the Secret to Serious Productivity

Have you ever gotten to the end of your day and felt like you had been moving through molasses and accomplished absolutely nothing? Me too. So often have I felt like this that I jumped recently at the opportunity to take a new training course that suggested it had a solution to the universal time-suck that we all struggle with.

About two weeks ago I started a productivity and time management training program designed to take you to the next level in your quest to eliminate distraction and interruption. It uses some of the principles found in the Getting Things Done book I reviewed a while back, as well as more wide-ranging ideas and concepts that are all combined in a remarkable process-based, web-video training system that takes the potential of GTD and goes well beyond that in so many ways.

The program is called Wake Up Productive and it’s a 90-day, time management training program developed by a guy named Eben Pagan who quietly and diligently built a $20 million dollar per year business from home. He takes you all the way from morning ritual to finding the elements that sap your focus, effectiveness and energy. It uses principles that apply to both to-do-list types as well as the so-called right-brained types (that’s me).

It’s also specifically designed for “work from home” entrepreneurs and self-employed business owners, which also happens to be me, but I suspect may apply to you too. Even if you don’t work at home, or have your own business, the principles are universally applicable and will change the way you look at productivity.

The approach to time and energy management is fresh and unlike any of the systems I’ve been monkeying with for years and the benefits I’ve gotten so far are profound enough to move me to actually make a post to my blog, the first in over a year, and attempt to get the word out to anyone who might be able to jump in and take advantage of this class while it’s available tomorrow.

I know, I wish I could have posted this earlier, but I didn’t realize it was opening up again till yesterday.

I expect that they will eventually offer it to a much wider audience, but at the moment they are teaching small groups at a time and the registration is only open for one day starting Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 3 PM EST.

Well the time has passed, but you can still watch the video if you sign up for more info. Just click the screen-shot below to do that. It seems they’ve taken down all the free training at this point. If they offer the program again, I’ll update the links on this page.

They guarantee you will be at least twice as productive as you are today and offer a 100% refund if you’re not. After two weeks, I’m already unable to ask for a refund as I’m too productive

I sincerely hope this is the kind of thing you will find wildly useful—so far it has been for me so I thought I’d pass it along. Please let me know if you think otherwise though as my goal is to share only really great ideas and assistance.

All the best!

P.S.—Although I primarily intend to write about tech gadgets, time-saving software and tech solutions, this is so widely appealing in nature and such a great opportunity, I felt I would be doing a disservice by not mentioning it. Besides, check it out—I posted! After a year! Now that’s something.
