Every other productivity course focuses on replicating the complex, over-optimized personal productivity habits and rituals of an individual guru. Essentially, someone takes what works for them and builds a system out of it to teach others, assuming everyone is wired the same.

Scientific Productivity is different because it’s built on evidence-based cognitive science. We at Commit Action (the creators of Scientific Productivity) have taken the practical insights from the entire corpus of productivity research and adapted the best practices into a long-term sustainable and universally applicable weekly planning ritual. Then, we tested it with thousands of entrepreneurs in over sixty countries, spanning hundreds of different industries.

The methodology you will learn in this course is based on the idea of “Minimum Effective Dose”. Entrepreneurs are exceptionally busy, their lives and businesses vary tremendously and their work is uniquely chaotic. The only productivity tactics that actually work are geared for long term sustainability and easy implementation.

Unlike other productivity programs or courses, Scientific Productivity gives you a powerful but light weight method that takes very little effort to consistently apply to your life and business.

Many productivity courses also focus on what we call “Productivity Theatre”: Over-optimizing your routine or mastering elaborate software tools. These types of programs can be deeply appealing to people who want to hide from the emotionally confronting real work of taking action on their goals. Such programs provide a relieving distraction, creating hours of additional busy work in the service of these elaborate planning routines.

Scientific Productivity is different because it provides entrepreneurs with the psychological “meta habits” needed to make smart decisions, ruthlessly prioritize and get moving with speed and focus on what truly matters. The course includes a detailed module on the emotional experience of truly executing on your potential, and how to avoid the self sabotage that doing courage work sometimes creates.

Unlike other courses, this isn’t about superficial tweaks or quick fixes. It's about understanding and leveraging the science behind productivity to identify your biggest opportunities and prioritize them efficiently. Our approach is rooted in the hundreds of thousands of coaching calls we’ve done with real entrepreneurs helping them prioritize and grow their businesses. So this isn’t just theory or second-hand knowledge - it’s evidence-based and field-tested.

The founder of Commit Action, Peter Shallard, successfully built and scaled the company to sell over $10 million dollars of productivity coaching services. But across the thousands of entrepreneurs we’ve worked with, we have collectively coached business owners to billions of dollars in added revenue.

In this course Peter shares the insights and strategies that are working for our business and our clients businesses. "Scientific Productivity" is designed specifically for entrepreneurs who want a reliable, systematic approach to achieve peak productivity and business success.

Hi! I’m Peter Shallard, widely known as the Shrink for Entrepreneurs. As a business psychology expert and therapist, I’ve spent over 15 years working with entrepreneurs around the globe to help them achieve greater wealth, freedom, and social impact.

Unlike many productivity gurus, my background is in clinical therapy, where I helped individuals overcome significant challenges. My transition to business psychology came when I saw the incredible impact psychological insights could have on motivated entrepreneurs. Since 2006, I’ve specialized in helping entrepreneurs master the psychology of success.

To date, my client roster has collectively raised several hundred million in capital, driving a few dozen billion in market capitalization. I’ve helped entrepreneurs create lifestyle businesses that turn people green with envy and even played advisor and confidant to a few ideas that’ve gone all the way to an IPO.

Along this journey, I also wanted to build something that scaled as an entrepreneur myself: Commit Action was born.

A scaled, tech-enabled productivity coaching company, Commit Action helps entrepreneurs double their productivity overnight by installing a coach-facilitated weekly planning ritual into their lives and business.

And I didn’t just make this ritual up, I took the best of what I’d learned working with some of the most effective entrepreneurs and operators on earth, then build a science advisory team of Neuroscience researchers (from Harvard Medical School) and Positive Psychology researchers (at NYU). From the synthesis of the cutting edge research in productivity cognitive science, and my experience helping entrepreneurs overcome challenges and achieve huge goals… the Commit Action planning methodology was born.

We’ve now coached this planning ritual in over eight thousand unique businesses, in over 60 countries, with stunning results. Commit Action’s coaching clients frequently describe the result of our methodology as “life changing”.

My mission is to help entrepreneurs like you build successful, impactful businesses. Scientific Productivity is my first and only experiment to give the full playbook to you to implement at your own pace. It’s all there, waiting for you.

This course is designed to be easy to complete and simple to implement. In just 2 hours, you’ll get everything you need to execute on your biggest opportunities without overthinking or second-guessing.

Instead of overwhelming you with theory, we’ve stripped it down to a simple, proven execution system. You’ll walk away with a clear, repeatable process to plan and follow through on what truly matters.

You can finish the course in an afternoon, but the impact lasts a lifetime. Just 20 minutes a week using this method will transform the way you get things done so you stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress.

That’s why so many entrepreneurs call the Commit Action methodology life-changing. This isn’t just another productivity course: it’s a shortcut to unstoppable execution.

Absolutely. The Scientific Productivity course is designed to be universally applicable because it focuses on human psychology and goal attainment rather than specific business tactics. The principles and models of strategy we cover are effective for any type of business. Whether you run a tech startup, a creative agency, or a niche consulting firm, the insights and techniques you’ll learn in this course will help you identify your biggest opportunities, set clear priorities, and take efficient, impactful actions to achieve your goals.

We have first hand experience implementing the principles of Scientific Productivity even for people like artists, academics and employees in larger organizations.

Fundamentally, Scientific Productivity can help anyone with ambition and the personal autonomy and agency to act on those ambitions. If you have big goals and time to work on them, Scientific Productivity can help you.
