Not on track to reach your goals?
Video course: Big-Picture Productivity
Achieve your goals. make your dreams your reality.
Does this sound like you?
You work hard, but your goals stay out of reach. Despite your best efforts, your dreams are not becoming your reality.
You’re busy, but you keep postponing your long-term plans. There’s barely enough time for your day-to-day obligations, let alone to pursue those big goals.
Your task list keeps expanding. It’s difficult to focus on the big picture, because you’re constantly putting out fires. You want to do too much and you’re always jumping from one thing to the next.
If that sounds like you… what if you could change all that?
“After so many years of trying, I finally have a good framework in place for planning my life on a recurring basis. More importantly, I also understand the principles behind the framework. I’ll be able to make adjustments when my life needs change in the future.”
Imagine this:
- You’ve formulated razor-sharp goals
- You’re consistently making progress on those goals
- You’re prioritizing your long-term plans
- You’re also on top of your day-to-day obligations
- You do more of what truly matters, in less time
Sounds nice, right? That’s what enrolling in Big-Picture Productivity will do for you.
“BPP significantly changed my viewpoint of productivity. I no longer obsess over getting the most tasks done, but I feel a much deeper sense of purpose and satisfaction as I complete tasks in key projects that help me reach my bigger goals.”

Premium Edition: get personal feedback
If you enroll in the premium edition of the course, you’ll get a one-time video review of your goals and your key action steps from me.
For example, I might:
- Show you how you can sharpen your goals
- Help you identify more actionable steps for your goals
- Suggest how you can prioritize between your various goals and action steps
Here’s how the video review works:
- You create your list of goals and your list of key action steps for those goals, following the course method.
- You email me your list in a text format. For example, share a Google Doc. (Make sure to set it so I can access it.)
- I will record a video with my feedback and send you a private link to watch that video.
You can get my feedback within the first three months after you enroll in the course. This offer is only valid if you immediately purchase the premium edition; you can’t upgrade later.
“After taking Big-Picture Productivity, I realised that I had far more control over my own goals and schedule than I thought. I learned how to translate my goals into actionable tasks. And the worksheets are a gold mine!”
“I have found Peter’s course incredibly useful and am already seeing its benefit on my focus and time management. The most important take away for me has been the structure I now have to my planning process.”

Our secret weapon: the course workbook
The course’s 40+ lessons contain plenty of insights and methods. But those alone won’t get you results. That’s why almost every lesson comes with an exercise in the course workbook.
The workbook exercises are your ticket to getting results fast. Here are some of the things we’ll do in the workbook exercises:
- Organize your life into different areas
- Formulate razor-sharp goals
- Create actionable steps for your goals
- Identify your most valuable, “deep” work
- Design a schedule that works for you
- Plan for a successful quarter
- Define “good enough” versions of your work (to avoid procrastination-by-perfectionism)
- Make healthy, productive habits stick
- Set up project templates to save time
These exercises will help you immediately, but are also perfect for coming back to later, if you need to re-focus on your top priorities.
“The coursework was grueling. And I mean that in the best possible way. To this day, I have printed copies of select BPP pages on my desk.”

Q: Do I need to have taken your other courses?
No, you don’t need to have taken any of my other courses.
If you have already taken one of my other courses, you’ll find that this course includes some familiar concepts related to task management, but that we take a big-picture approach. Task management remains the foundation, but we’ll go way beyond that to make this your most productive year ever.
Don’t postpone your dreams any longer
I urge you to jump in the deep end. If you’re not doing what really matters, don’t stay stuck in that position. Don’t go another year without prioritizing your goals or dreams. Commit to them: enroll now.
[Having taken Big-Picture Productivity] “I have improved my life in many ways.”
“Not only in terms of organization and effectiveness, but also in terms of health, since I find myself much less stressed and with a very pleasant feeling of control over the things that I have to do every day.”
“It is amazing the feeling of peace when you know what things you are doing and, although it may seem paradoxical, the peace of mind that comes from knowing what things you are NOT doing, because you have consciously decided not to do them.”
Students say…
“After taking Peter’s course, I now actually know what I am trying to achieve. I’m much less overwhelmed by the day to day.”
“I have purchased courses on productivity before, however none were as well laid out as this one. The workbook, the videos, the details... Peter created a course that is easy to watch and easy to learn.”
”After taking Big-Picture Productivity, I have the mental freedom to know that ‘things are under control.’”
”This course is practical, not just theoretical. It will help anyone to refocus on what really matters to them and be able to maintain that focus on a continuous basis.”
