About Me

I’m a productivity coach ready to help another 10,000 men and women across the world work less, achieve more, and live fulfilling, abundant lives without distractions, fear, or procrastination getting in the way.

Here’s what you need to know about me (I’ll keep it short, we’re trying to be productive here after all):

More than 1 million people have read my blog. I’m also a Top Writer on Medium. My videos on YouTube have been watched more than 100.000 times.

I’m the author of Zero to Done, Zettelkasten in Roam, and Building a Brain OS, among others. I started freelancing more and became more productive while writing about productivity topics.

Soon, colleagues and clients asked for help with their work and how to be more productive.

I then started a newsletter on productivity that would curate content from around the internet to make it more actionable for my readers, which grew rapidly and organically.

Fast forward to today, I help thousands of people across the globe through my research, power-packed newsletters, digital products, courses, templates, and tools to help end procrastination and productivity issues once and for all.

So, you know about me, and you (likely) resonated with all of the problems with other courses and “gurus” out there…

Last but not least, if you enjoy my content, you should definitely join the weekly newsletter. It’s one email a week with new articles, new lessons, and other fun things I’m finding.

Nice Things People Say About My Content

Thanks for all your notes on books and your tips for productivity, they helped me a lot get back on track in my job as after reducing my working hours I was really struggling, but now it's much better.
Max Bernstein
This was a very actionable and easy-to-understand class. Not much "fluff". Gets right to the point and gives you exactly what you signed up for.
Adam Nowak
I read your newsletter every week and I'm really amazed by how much signal you provide (it's not a marketing noise, it's pure content and I love it)!
Ashish Mukharji
Love your stuff, and just recommended it to several colleagues at Berkeley.
Jean Soo
I've been following your blog and YouTube videos for a while now and I really love your content! It's always straight to the point and so informative at the same time.
Jonathan Levy
I'm new to your content - actually I just started at a new company, and had to move from Outlook to Gmail, and with it had to work out how to transition my well worn productivity hacks. Our Chief of Staff pointed me to your page.
Julian Alvarez
Zero To Done is absolutely incredible, thank you so much for creating something so valuable!
Pam Mark Hall
Many of the books you’ve read and summarized are books that I’ve wanted to read. You have saved me much time and money. I am grateful to benefit from your work.
Tim Andersen
This is the only newsletter I subscribe to that I actually look forward to. This has been dense information and useful for productivity nerds like myself.
