Module 1 - "PREPARATION!" Laying the Foundation for Success in Work and Life
Preparation relates to how well you've planned and laid the foundation for your daily activities. Most people don't have goals. Perhaps you don't know how to set them, or you're not comfortable with the process. Perhaps you simply haven't taken the time to write them, but it's worth the work. The goals you set will provide direction for your life and focus your activities. An established direction, outlined with purposeful thought, ensures your life won't be governed by whim. Productive people devote a great deal of thought and time to planning their life goals. This program ensures that your daily, weekly, and monthly activities all roll up into your project plans, short-term objectives, long-term goals, and vision.

Module 4 - "DIS CPLINE!" Putting Your Nose to the Grindstone
Discipline refers to your ability to maintain consistent, productive behavior. Are you persistent in completing your high priority tasks, without getting sidelined by menial activities? Do you put your nose to the grindstone each day, or do you only work hard when you're in the mood? Do you have a set of "rules" for yourself that govern your behavior and activity? Many people tell some form of, "I do really well one day, but then I get into a funk and can't get back on top of things." Sure, everyone has an "off day." But if you're self-disciplined, you exhibit consistent focus in your day-to-day work, even if you don't feel like it.

Module 5 - "UNEASE!" Getting Rid of Stress and Burnout
According to nationwide office productivity study conducted by Xerox and Harris Interactive in 2003, most people work over 60 hours a week total, and over 33 percent work on weekends.

Stress is also a known factor in 70 percent of all diseases, so people must learn to reduce tension. This program teaches stress-reduction strategies for professionals who are pushed to the limit everyday. Regain the stamina you need to perform at your peak!

Module 6 - "CONCENTRATION" Maintaining Your Focus
As a child, I remember sitting for hours at a time, absorbed in my favorite books. My mother would enter the living room asking, "Didn't you hear me call you?" I would look at her, confused, as I came back to reality, and answer honestly, "No, mommy I didn't." And that was the complete truth! That level of concentration is very hard to achieve today. With noise, interruptions, instant messages, and email, so many things competing for our attention in the workplace that it's often very difficult to concentrate.

Vitality refers to your wellness. How healthy are you? How much energy do you have throughout the day to accomplish the things you want to do? Recent studies have revealed we have the potential to dramatically impact our productivity by paying closer attention to our behaviors around health. In other words, we eat too much, drink too much, don't exercise enough, work too much, and don't sleep enough to be productive.
