Feeling overwhelmed? Not as productive as you could be?
If you wish you could use Things to get organized, but you haven’t found a system that works for you, you’re in the right place.
In this video course, you’ll learn a Things workflow you can rely on.
Picture this:
Let’s make that happen for you.
“It’s only been a week since I bought Peter’s course and my life hasn’t felt this organized ever.”
.avif)
I studied economics at a top liberal arts college.
After I graduated, I took a job in litigation consulting. I ran complex analyses for Fortune 500 companies getting sued for millions, if not billions of dollars.
As my career advanced and I got more responsibility, I started to feel overwhelmed. Clients were happy, but I felt miserable.
Sound familiar? A lot of people I talk to struggle with the exact same thing.
I faced so many projects and meetings and deadlines and emails. My to-do list was endless.
I tried to fix it by pushing myself and working harder, sometimes staying at the office past midnight…
Before I knew it, I was sat on the couch at home, burned out. Just cleaning my apartment was stressful.
I never returned to my job.
After I recovered, I decided there had to be a better way to handle all of the responsibilities life throws at us.
So I developed a system to stay organized. I clarified my priorities, tracked my to-dos, and sorted out my notes. With my new system, I was able to handle anything.
Soon, people noticed I was now always on top of stuff. They asked me to teach them my system. So I did.
And you can learn my system, too.
You don’t have to spend 1.5 years burned out and unable to work. You don’t have to struggle and work harder in an attempt to stop feeling so overwhelmed, like I did.
You just need a simple system that’s easy to stick with.
I’ll teach you.

Tasks at home. Projects at work. Being there for your friends and family. Staying healthy. Taking care of your finances. It’s a lot.
It’s a lot, but it’s manageable with the right system.
With the right system, you can stay on top of your email. You can consistently get around to your most important tasks. And you can meet your deadlines.
Things can be a great foundation of that system—if you set it up right. And that’s where this course comes in.
Of course, you’ll learn lots of specific things too, like when you should use deadlines; how to access the incredibly useful hidden views in Things; and how to use the Someday feature to keep track of tasks that aren’t relevant right now.
You’ll learn exactly what you need—no more and no less. I’ve designed the course to be as efficient as possible.
You could piece together information on using Things from random places all over the Internet. But how long would that take? And what is your time worth to you?
When you follow this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to organize your life and to be productive using Things. You’ll save tons on time compared to figuring things out yourself.
Think about what you could do with the extra time. You could spend it with your kids. You could spend it learning to play the guitar. Or you could, you know, spend the time doing the actual work you want to do!
That’s what learning a Things workflow you can trust will do for you.
“Since starting Peter’s course, I’ve cut a lot of the fat from my system and feel like I’m engaging with Things in a way that actually helps me get things done. And Peter’s Weekly Review template has been a game changer.”
I know how risky it can feel to invest in something new.
So I’m taking all the risk.
If, for any reason, you’re not completely satisfied, I’ll promptly refund 100% of your payment—no questions asked.
See, I want you to think, “wow, this is amazing!”
I want you to feel absolutely delighted with your investment.
Now, will some people take advantage of this guarantee? Will they go through all the course materials, get super organized, build an awesome productivity system—and still ask for their money back? Maybe. But I hope you won’t.
I’d rather take that risk myself, instead of you missing out on the results you’ve been wanting for so long.
I just want you to succeed.
That’s why you have an entire month to check out the program and implement my system.
Then, if you feel it isn’t for you—no worries, you get your money back.
When you enroll, you get immediate access to a bonus workshop.
This 1-hour workshop is the perfect complement to the course.
In the course, you’ll organize your to-dos and projects so that you’ll be super on top of your day-to-day and week-to-week responsibilities.
But we want to make sure you’re making progress on your long-term priorities, too.
That’s where the workshop, Translating Your Goals Into Action, comes in.
After you take the workshop, you’ll walk away with:
The workshop comes with a handy, step-by-step workbook, so it’s dead easy to implement the workflow.
Balancing your day-to-day tasks with long-term priorities is the key to making your dreams your reality. Let’s get to it.
“Had I not taken Peter’s course, Things 3 would be just another app on my phone. In fact the first version got used very little. I hated starting the day without a well defined agenda and the tasks I needed to get done. Now, for the first time in a long time, I’m actually starting to consider myself ‘organized.’ The spillover effect is noticeable too: organizing my office, starting a morning routine, etc.”
“I have tried other such courses hoping to kickstart my implementation of first OF and later Things. This is the first one that I feel like I really launched and will keep going.”

If you’re not happy with the course, just let me know within 30 days of your purchase; I’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
You might be eligible to pay in installments. At checkout, look for the option to pay with Affirm, Afterpay, or Klarna. I don’t control whether this option is available to you, unfortunately.
No, I don’t. You can, however, buy this course as part of a bundle, at a lower price than if you were to purchase the courses separately.
You’ll be up and running with this workflow in an afternoon or two.
Forever! Other sites may require you to keep a monthly subscription, but for this course, you pay once and you get lifetime access. You’ll also have access to course updates and new lessons.
This course is self-paced, so you can start it whenever you like and take as long as you need.
Absolutely. With the Teachable app, you can download the course to your iPhone or iPad and watch it even when you don’t have Internet access, like when you’re on a plane.
You won’t only learn where the buttons are in Things (though that is part of the course, too). We will go beyond that: you’ll learn a simple yet effective workflow that you can use, right away, to get stuff done.
Do you have an iPad? The Things app for iPad is quite good, too!
Subtitles are available in all major languages. If you need them in a different language, ask me— I might be able to add them.
Yes, just email me.
“Your course is great value for money. Your way of explaining was straight forward, clear, easy to follow. I ended up loving things 3 - and I was not a fan before.”
“Peter’s course is fun, useful and has plenty of real-life practical use cases for both personal or work projects.”
“This was such a great course. I thought I knew Things 3 pretty well and just wanted a refresher. WOW! I got so much more than that. I especially appreciated understanding the ‘philosophy’ behind the Areas and When sections. I wasn’t using them effectively at all. And because of that lack of understanding, I never did a good weekly review. So much better, now. Thanks for your clarity and for the depth of this course.”
“After taking Peter’s course, I am coming into the new week with so much more clarity.”
“This is a brilliant video course for Things 3. I'm amazed how much I missed trying to learn it myself. Cultured Code should have Peter do their in-depth training.”
“I discovered more reliability in the software system. Learned about the unique features of Things 3 that make it stand out. Discovered a simpler system to track tasks and projects. And I discovered more confidence in ‘my’ process with a task manager versus the expectation of the app to do it for me.”
“Peter’s course completely changed my perspective on how to use Things 3. Nothing comes close to this course in quality and practicality.”
“I was surprised by how many things I learned about Things 3 even though I had been using it on and off for years, and following GTD much longer! The pacing of the course felt really natural, more so than GTD books or websites that I’ve read in the past.”
“I like Peter’s short, clear videos that give all the necessary information. It’s a very practical course!”
“I liked the clarity of the presentation, the relative brevity of the content and the instant and helpful interaction of Peter concerning questions and feedback in general. Very much appreciated!”
“Peter’s Things 3 course is really good. I like the quality of the recordings; the possibility of activating the subtitles… and the fact that the course stays up to date with new videos.”
“Peter’s course is so much more than just a simple ‘How-to set it up’ - he takes you through a workflow. If I had just downloaded Things and started using it, I wouldn’t have been as organized or had a process like I do now having taken Peter’s course - and I would have quickly fallen off of using the app.”
“Peter’s course did more than just list the features of Things 3. It taught me how one uses and organizes one’s projects and task lists. Even if I end up using different task manager, I will still consider this course worthwhile, as the principles it taught went beyond one task manager.”
“Peter’s course accelerated my ramp up on switching from OmniFocus to Things since I didn't have to learn by trial and error.”
“I’m recommending Peter’s course to all my friends. This will help them feel peaceful and stay on track with their tasks.”
“Peter has an excellent ability to convey valuable knowledge of Thing 3 in a simple and understandable way. I found new motivation to integrate Things 3 even more intensively into my daily workflow and to restructure it.”
“After taking Peter’s course, my workflow is perfectly organized and I feel that I dominate the tool.”
“I switched from OmniFocus to Things 3. I don’t feel overwhelmed anymore. OmniFocus was harder to use and less attractive/fun. And that was the reason why I nearly stopped using it recent months.”
“Peter’s ability to transfer his project management skills in a clear and understandable manner with this simple tool is exceptional.”
“This course is a breakthrough for me unlike anything I've tried before.”
Things is an incredibly well-designed app. But there are a few things that aren’t intuitive—and Things has some hidden features, too. So I made a handy cheat sheet that you can refer back to. Get the cheat sheet.
