A very special announcement
Are you an executive, entrepreneur or CEO who …
… struggles to focus on the important tasks despite jumping from one urgent task to the next?
… feels tired in the morning and throughout the day despite sleeping 7 or 8 hours at night?
… has trouble dealing with high stress at work and “turning it off” at home?
If so, I’ve got bad news and good news for you.
The bad news first. You can’t go on like this. Building a great career or company doesn't take weeks or months. It takes years or decades. It’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon of sprints. To win this marathon and avoid burning out halfway, you need to set yourself up for the long run.
Now the good news. I created a new 1-on-1 coaching program to help ambitious executives, entrepreneurs and CEOs thrive in high-stress environments. In the program, you’ll learn how to increase your productivity by at least 100% – and make stress work for you instead of against you.
I’ve developed the program together with my Ultraproductive co-author and world-leading CEO coach Eric Partaker. The program includes 6 sessions over 12 weeks.
The Becoming Ultraproductive 1-on-1 coaching program is my most exclusive offer and limited to 15 seats. If you’re interested in one of these, get in touch here.
If you want to learn more about the program, read on.
The magic of 90 minutes
The program revolves around a simple, science-based and powerful notion. For sustainable peak productivity, 90 is the magic number. Here are three examples:
1) By focusing deeply for 90 minutes a day, you'll double your overall productivity, according to research by McKinsey & Company.
As it turns out, even Elon Musk spends most of his time doing tasks that require deep focus. In the program, you’ll transition from spending your entire day on urgent shallow work to using your most productive hours focusing on the critical deep work – without working a minute longer.
2) By getting 90 minutes of deep sleep each night, you’ll multiply your productivity by up to a factor of 2.5, according to a study out of Japan.
Great sleep is not only the foundation of our performance in all endeavors, but also of our mental and physical health, says Stanford’s Prof. Andrew Huberman. In the program, you’ll go from spending your whole night in shallow sleep to getting plenty of deep sleep, the most restorative sleep stage – without sleeping a minute longer.
3) By turning off the stress response at least every 90 minutes, you’ll learn to harness the performance-enhancing effects of acute stress. According to research out of Germany, this leads to another doubling of productivity.
While acute stress is the good sort of stress, chronic stress is the bad sort. In the program, you'll learn to avoid chronic stress by putting your inner brakes on it. These brakes are your “parasympathetic nervous system”, or calmness system.
Why knowledge is not enough
Let me venture a guess. You already knew a lot of what you just read – but as for the dozens of executives, entrepreneurs and CEOs I work with, your biggest obstacle when trying to thrive is building the right habits.
Entrepreneur Derek Sivers probably put it best: "If more information was the answer, then we'd all be billionaires with perfect abs.”
Although forming new habits may sound simple, getting them to stick is what’s hard. According to research from Harvard, less than 8% of people manage to keep their New Year's resolutions.
That’s why my new 1-on-1 coaching program is all about developing habits for sustainable productivity. Drawing from my PhD on stress and performance as well as research from Stanford University, McKinsey and others, I’ll help you develop rock-solid habits for focusing intensely, sleeping deeply, and dealing with stress like a pro.
For each of these topics, we’ll create habit systems tailored to your professional and private life regime. I’ll become your personal sparring partner who holds you accountable and helps you overcome any obstacles along the way.
Let’s win together
The Becoming Ultraproductive 1-on-1 coaching program includes 6 sessions over 12 weeks.
Based on the outcomes of my coaching clients, you'll boost your productivity by between 100% and 900%. You’ll also learn to set yourself up for the long run by making stress work for you instead of against you. It’s an investment that will pay for itself many times over in the decades ahead of you.
Again, the program is my most exclusive offer and limited to 15 seats. If you’re interested in one of these, get in touch here.
Let’s set you up for the marathon ahead and win together.

Until next week,
