Unlock Your Full Potential with Non-Toxic Productivity

The comprehensive, yet achievable course that empowers you to work smarter, eliminate overwhelm, and prioritize what matters most.

When did the hustle go from being empowering to exhausting?

Constant Distractions

The modern world is full of interruptions— emails, notifications, or unexpected meetings. These distractions make it difficult to stay present and focus on what’s important.

burnout

Hustle culture glamorizes overwork, but it doesn’t acknowledge the toll it takes on your health, relationships, and overall well-being.

too many obligations

When you have a long list of things to do, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all. This can make it hard to prioritize and pull you into procrastination.

unsustainable pace

The constant push to work harder, faster, and longer is exhausting. Meaningful ambition gets wrapped up into burden.

Why this course?

Going from Burnout to Breakthrough

As a psychologist and an expert on human behavior, I’ve carefully crafted Mayhem to Magic after over a decade of working with individuals, companies (including Fortune 500s!), and more. I work with people just like you to live and work their best lives.

I used to consider myself someone who loved the hustle; I worked HARD and was obsessed with productivity - doing more, achieving more, learning more. I learned that there is most definitely an art (and science) to achieving without the burnout. This course is a collection what I learned (both personally and professionally).

In today’s world, "hustle harder" isn't the answer.

You don’t need to work longer hours or sacrifice your well-being to achieve your goals. With the right framework, with practice tips and mindset shifts, you can re-engineer your brain and workflow to get everything—that really matters—done.

how is this course different?

  • Real-World, Actionable Strategies

    This course is designed for real people in the real world; that means it is not aspirational, but it is actually practical. It’s not about working harder or pushing through at all costs—it’s about smarter work, clearer priorities, and finding systems that work for YOU. No fluff, just practical tools and strategies you can apply right away.

  • Non-Toxic Approach to Success

    Unlike traditional productivity courses that glorify the "hustle" culture, this course focuses on creating a sustainable, healthy approach to productivity, in my signature “non-toxic” productivity framework. You’ll learn how to work efficiently, reducing the sacrifice to your mental health or physical well-being.

  • Balanced Productivity for High Achievers

    For high-achieving individuals, the pressure to constantly do more can feel overwhelming. This course provides a balance between accomplishing your goals and living a fulfilling life. It’s about working with your energy, not against it.

  • Mindset-First Approach

    Productivity isn’t just about tools and techniques—it’s about mindset. This course helps you shift your perspective from "more is better" to "smart and strategic is better." It addresses the root causes of overwhelm, procrastination, and burnout, so you can tackle productivity with a clear, focused mindset.

  • Personalized, Flexible Framework

    Every person’s life and work situation are different. That’s why this course offers a flexible framework that allows you to customize strategies to fit your unique needs. You won’t just be following a set of rigid steps; you’ll create systems that are aligned with your personal values and lifestyle.

  • No More Burnout, Only Results

    Tired of the never-ending cycle of working hard and feeling burnt out? This course helps you break that cycle by focusing on smarter, not harder, methods. It’s about achieving meaningful results while prioritizing rest, relaxation, and self-care.

  • Sustainable Success, Not Quick Fixes

    This course isn’t about quick hacks or shortcuts—it’s about creating long-term success. The skills you’ll learn here will help you sustainably level up your productivity, rather than chasing temporary bursts of achievement.

  • Supportive Community of Like-Minded Individuals

    When you join this course, you’re not just getting access to content—you’re also joining a community of individuals who are committed to achieving their goals without burning out. Share your journey, celebrate wins, and receive support from others who understand your struggles and aspirations.

This course is perfect for you if...

You’re a high-achieving individual ready to embrace a non-toxic approach to productivity.

You feel overwhelmed by your to-do list and need a way to manage tasks more effectively.

You struggle with procrastination and need actionable strategies to get things done.

You want to delegate, automate, and streamline your workflow but aren’t sure where to start.

You are a hands-on learner who is interested and motivated to make real change.

You’ve already tried too many planners, apps, and digital programs to help you get your life together.

let’s take a look inside the course!

Here are the five transformative modules that will get you unstuck and moving forward meaningfully.

  • We break down why traditional productivity methods often fall short, and introduce The FUEL Method, my signature approach that blends both reactive and proactive strategies to help you actually get things done.

    You'll also discover how your core values can serve as powerful anchors for your productivity. Together, we’ll explore practical ways to define those values, so you can prioritize what truly matters with clarity and confidence.

  • Next, we explore strategies for zeroing in on what truly matters — and releasing what doesn’t. I’ll walk you through how to use The Eisenhower Decision Matrix to prioritize and delegate effectively, while also introducing a fresh perspective on time management through the lens of energy-based productivity.

  • Now that you’ve built a solid foundation in prioritization and delegation, we’ll dive into creating a task management system that actually works for you.

    From identifying task overload to implementing sustainable, system-based strategies, you’ll learn how to take control of your to-do lists — without burning out.

  • We take a direct look at the root causes of procrastination and focus on building habits that truly stick. Using tools like The Habit Loop and Habit Stacking, you’ll learn actionable strategies to create lasting change, without relying on willpower alone.

  • In our final module, we put everything into practice, applying the strategies you’ve learned to real-life scenarios, from the workplace to home life.

    You’ll get practical tools like delegation scripts, simple automation tips, and more to help you streamline with confidence.
