Mastery of Self

The problem with most advice for self-care is that it starts with a misguided understanding of what the self is – in other words, who you are.  It assumes who you are is your body, a thing in the world, distinct from everything else in the world.  Then, self-care becomes about keeping all those things in the world from killing you – especially everything you have to do and handle.

While you might experience yourself as a thing, from our perspective, from a behavioral perspective, you are action.  In this series, we take the approach that who you are is action extended over time.  From that view, everything you have to do and handle takes on an entirely different meaning, where all of your accountabilities aren’t just something to manage, but to manage powerfully such that they become a source for your own aliveness, self-expression, and vitality.

Overview and Results 

The series of webinars is a 6-week productivity and time-management program that presents you with zoom interactive webinars, one on one calls, videos, articles, and a virtual community, centered around increasing your productivity, performance, and even more, your experience of joy, satisfaction and accomplishment.  Grounded in behavioral principles concerning what gives human beings their experience of (and action in) life, this course is about caring for yourself based on a behavioral understanding of self.  It is about expanding who you are in the world.

To do that, it helps you focus on what’s important to you and get on top of all you have to do, even the things you don’t like doing. This means you’re left with greater accomplishment, fulfilment and satisfaction around everything you have to deal with in life. People who have participated in previous programs report:

• Greater focus and clarity

• Enhanced work/life balance
• More engaged and present in life
• Less procrastination – taking things on now

“When something is bugging me and I’m with my fiancée, I can just notice it and capture it now and be done with it, so we can be together and enjoy this precious time we have, rather than being worried.” – Thomas A

“Andrej’s program has had a lasting effect on how I react to all there is to do and get done. I have the skill set now to use when I do get overwhelmed with life and all there is to do – to make my list, prioritize and schedule. In my business, I train my staff in the tools, too, and it is amazing how useful and straight-forward things get when we’re all following the same system.” – Linda D

“Being more organised and having peace of mind has helped me create a work/life balance and spend more time with my family instead of working long evenings. I started to go out for walks which makes me the happiest.” – Alfie K
