Here is the simple truth: you can’t afford to keep everything in your head.

You have way too much to remember, too much to think about, and too much to do.

Trying to keep all those balls in the air using a brain that never evolved for it makes life more stressful for you than it should be. ‍

And the problem is: The volume of information flooding your brain today is just a trickle compared to what’s coming.

If you’re wondering whether you’ll ever be able to accomplish your most important goals amidst all the competing obligations that life throws at you…

Then you’re not alone! 

More and more people realize that…

Your ability to process and manage the information around you is the biggest bottleneck to whatever you want in life

The good news is: You don’t have to accept this state of constant Information Overload. 

There are tools already at your fingertips to help you capitalize on the full potential of your knowledge and ideas.

This isn’t about finding the right productivity app to solve all your problems! (It doesn’t exist.)

It’s about developing a system of tools, habits, techniques, and mindsets to take care of the mundane day-to-day details, freeing up your attention for more creative, interesting endeavors.

This will allow you to consistently do your best work – the work that has a real impact on the people, the organizations, and the communities that matter to you… 

And truly leave work behind each day, knowing you’ve gotten everything you can out of your time, so you can be present with your families, hobbies, and the rest of your life.

Let me tell you how…

Introducing

The C.O.D.E System

This is our 4-step process for consistently turning the information you consume into creative output and concrete results.

Whether that’s better decisions, better opportunities, or new products or services. And as a side effect, the constant worry that there’s some little detail falling through the cracks will fade away for good.

Creative products are always shiny and new; the creative process is ancient and unchanging.

– Silvano Arieti

While technology is constantly changing, the heart of the creative process remains fundamentally the same: 

• Capturing information from the outside world
• Organizing it in a way that lets you easily find and use it
• Distilling it down to the best ideas
• And then expressing your ideas in your unique voice through writing, speaking, designing, or teaching.

By leveraging the power of technology…

you can supercharge your creativity and capitalize on the full value of your ideas to transform your career, business, and life.

Living by the C.O.D.E. system allows you to surf the waves of information instead of drowning in them.

Cultivate a collection of valuable knowledge and insights for future use

Uncover unexpected patterns and connections to improve your thinking

Create structure around creative projects to reliably move them forward

Create a digital environment that promotes clarity and peace of mind

Reduce stress & anxiety knowing all your ideas and insights are preserved

Know exactly where to find all the files and notes you’ve saved in the past

I’ve charged between $15,000 and $25,000 to teach this system to elite professionals at some of the world’s leading organizations. 

But I want to make that same quality of education available to everyone, regardless of where they live or which resources they have access to.‍

In this course, you’ll gain the best insights and methods I offer my clients, while receiving direct support from me and my team, on your schedule, for a small fraction of the price.
