Take back your time. Put the “life” back in work-life balance. And optimize your personal and professional productivity.


NYT best-selling author Oliver Burkeman explains how so many of us feel when it comes to managing time and commitments…

[M]any people (by which I meant me) seem to feel as if they start off each morning in a kind of "productivity debt", which they must struggle to pay off through the day, in hopes of reaching a zero balance by the time evening comes. Few things feel more basic to my experience of adulthood than this vague sense that I'm falling behind, and need to claw my way back up to some minimum standard of output. It's as if I need to justify my existence, by staying "on top of things", in order to stave off some ill-defined catastrophe that might otherwise come crashing down upon my head.

You can probably relate to feeling like there are too many priorities, commitments, and to-dos and should-dos bouncing around your head. It’s hard to make the spaciousness to clear your mind — let alone keep all the things in order that you know are good for you (8 hours sleep, workouts, family time, etc.).

This is the number one challenge you’ll see for happiness and productivity — it’s not that we don’t know what we should do, it’s getting after it all consistently…


My name’s Jackson — I’m a former startup COO, operations manager, and Zen monk. And I created the world’s first major in happiness. I’ve spent the last 5 years studying happiness and human performance and building solutions for the US Army and private sector. I’ve worked with 2-star Air Force Generals to hospital CFOs to small business owners to busy moms.

It may surprise you that these folks have a lot in common: too much to do in too little time.

That’s what inspired me to use to my ICF certified executive coaching skillset to develop the Personal Operating System (pOS) for Happiness & High Performance.

The objective is to get clarity, get organized, and get in control of your work - and your life…
