Why would anyone spend $500 on a productivity course?

And who has 8 weeks to set aside for a live cohort?

What's so special about AP Productivity that makes it WORTH that?

I mean, I'm obviously biased, but read on for why *I* think it's worth it...
First, the investment.

📷 Picture this: It's mid-March. You are working in your smooth productivity workflow. It is tailored to the way you work and think, and specific to your needs.

How much more will you accomplish? $500 worth?

If you're like me, MUCH more than $500 worth!
Next, the time.

Why is this a cohort course rather than a static video course?

⏳ Because iteration takes time.

For you to build a productivity workflow tailored to YOU, you need my framework. But you ALSO need guidance and feedback over time.

A reliable #Productivity system must track recurring actions.

Partly because we don't want to forget any of our tasks.

But mainly:

🤯You can't think "big picture" if you have "little stuff" tying up your brain's bandwidth.

To learn how *I* deal with little stuff, read on...
First, the psychological hurdle:

🖐️We don't like to capture little stuff, because it feels like "Great, now I have MORE work."

But remember:

👉 You ALREADY had that work. You just weren't accounting for it.

It was just lurking in your subconscious, weighing you down.
Now, the technical hurdles:

📥 To capture recurring actions, you need somewhere for them to go

📤 To make use of them, they should surface automatically on appropriate days

Many apps—@todoist, @amplenote, etc.—let you set tasks up with recurring logic. Problem solved.

But...

Cal Newport's "Deep Work" is a #Productivity ideal that many aspire to.

Problem is, our lives are not always flexible enough for multiple hours of uninterrupted, focused work.

Is it possible to work deeply, but in shorter blocks of time? Read on...
A good productivity system automates, streamlines, or facilitates the transitions in our work:

👉 Getting into or out of work
👉 Starting or ending a day
👉 Shifting contexts
etc.

Simply put, a good system makes transitions easier.
To accomplish Deep Work in smaller time blocks, you need to "get to depth"—transition into work—quickly and reliably.

You need…

👉 Materials ready
👉 The right mindset
👉 Focus

…and you need them immediately.

I do this using a method I call “Making Passes”

Just a few days left until the launch of Cohort 3 of AP Productivity!

This is what MY days look like when I'm done (pic from my @RoamResearch Daily Note on October 15).

To learn how AP Productivity can help you structure your work YOUR way, read on...
AP Productivity is an 8-week live cohort course to help you build a tailormade, powerful productivity system in @RoamResearch.

From the outset, you're iterating toward your ideal workflow!
Then, throughout the course, I provide further tools, guidance, and feedback, through:

✅ Weekly live coachings
✅ Twice-weekly office hours sessions
✅ Course community powered by @circleapp

You'll learn from me, and from each other!

It goes against my nature to brag (my wife might disagree), but I was so honored by kind words from @JessicaShieh, @beauhaan, @Jeanvaljean689, @RaygunIcecream, & @Fis4Thought that I wanted to thread them here.

If you use @RoamResearch and you need a guide, I can help 😊
.@JessicaShieh ran an AMAZING mini-@RoamBookClub on #GTD in November/December, and I'd be thrilled to work with her anywhere, anytime, on anything.

.@beauhaan is a kindred spirit—even though we couldn't be more different on the surface! I value his passion, energy, guts, and subtle, long-term approach to not just knowledge but wisdom. And we're both in the arts, too, which helps!
