“This course has cleared my mind, body, and inbox! I only took the course this past weekend but I already feel less scattered and at more peace. I am more confident that the projects that I have been putting off can finally be accomplished. ”

Dr. Ho-Young Chung, Owner, Kamloops Dental and Implant Solutions

“I finally have the tools I’ve been wishing for to gain freedom from the treadmill, tame my calendar, inbox and to-do list, and centre my biggest dreams and wishes, so they are truly fuelling each day. I’ve spent over 3 decades in the field of transforming trauma for others. Groundwork is what I needed for me!”

Cathy Salser, Founder, A Window Between Worlds

“The calm contentment that has permeated my everyday is palpable. I don’t ever remember feeling this calm in my adult life. I now feel unrestrained by time, which was unexpected when I thought I was signing up for more rigid control. Groundwork is truly paradigm-shifting! ”

Jennifer O'Neil, Owner, Sparkling Legacy Cleaning

“Groundwork provided the structure I needed to get myself out of avoidance mode and back into action. I was just about to declare email bankruptcy when I took Groundwork and instead today I routinely achieve Inbox Zero and feel no resistance to moving communications and projects forward. Highly recommend!”

Becca Motola-Barnes, Community Outreach & Partnership Manager, Walk San Fransisco

FAQs

Learn more about why Groundwork is game-changer for hundreds of people.

  • Who is Groundwork appropriate for?

    Groundwork Alumni range from parents, activists, artists, entrepreneurs, professionals, students and executives. People from all walks of life have benefited from the work for over a decade now.

  • Why do people take Groundwork?

    A significant percentage of the people who find Groundwork are not getting to the personal projects that matter to them and are actively looking for new tools to help get them achieve their goals. Second to this, they are usually dealing with some level of stress and are caught in varying degrees of what Groundwork calls "survival mode".

  • What is the Groundwork System exactly?

    The Groundwork System is a way of processing everything we have coming at us: emails, tasks, relationships, ideas and all the things related to our well-being. The System is a principle-based way of thinking about everything there is to do while prioritizing peace of mind, clarity and joy. The System is about doing things in a way that is connected and conscious rather than operating from a place of survival. It breaks the illusion that has us believing that we will only feel better when we get to the bottom of the todo list.

  • Does Groundwork use a specific technology?

    The Groundwork System is technology-agnostic. Meaning, you can apply the thinking of the System to any technology you use. There are only 3 tools needed for the System to come to life: an email inbox, a calendar and a note taking app of your choice.

  • What is included in the Groundwork course?

    Upon enrolling, you will receive a digital copy of the Groundwork Manual and the Groundwork Workbook. These materials are rich in inspiration and information and help students apply the work into their lives. Additionally, there is a 3-month Email Implementation Program that is included upon completion of the course and access to monthly calls with Groundwork Alumni throughout the year.

  • I've tried other productivity methods, what makes Groundwork different?

    If you're asking yourself this questions, you're likely in a similar spot to many of the people who find Groundwork. They have tried various tips and tools but have lacked a complete way of thinking, a complete framework, for how to organize their consciousness. Groundwork is about establishing ease as you practice using it. It is a way of thinking primarily, which is also why people can adjust the System to suit their own personal needs and aspirations. It's about flexibility and enjoyment along the way.
