DAILY VIDEOS - 29 Days ... to managing information-overload and stress!
The following videos will give you a brief overview of your 29 Day Journey into self discovery and how you can learn to manage information-overload and stress!
MANAGING INFORMATION-OVERLOAD & STRESS ~ INTRODUCTORY VIDEO
This 29 DAYS program will show you how to live in this frenetic world at your own pace, in complete control, by developing the right habits, understanding and perspective.
The results are immediate and they’ll last a lifetime.
That means you’ll no longer respond like one of Pavlov’s dogs at every ring, beep, or chirp. You’re going to accept that you can’t possibly digest the incessant deluge of information available to you – nor will you want to. You’re going to take complete control of your time and accessibility, and by doing so you’ll drastically reduce your levels of stress while defining your life, whether you’re working or playing.
Ultimately you, no one else, is responsible for what happens in your life. Those who learn to control their environment will master the information age and determine their lives and careers. Those who don’t will be left further and further behind.
I welcome you to join me for the next twenty-nine days on this life-changing journey.
See you on Day One.
