I’m also a Productivity Psychologist. I have a PhD in Organizational Psychology (on top of extensive training in Positive Psychology under the mentorship of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi). I also have ADHD, and this made things difficult for me in school and as a professor. I’ve been obsessed with productivity since college (likely because I knew I needed a better way to work with my ADHD mind) and have been teaching productivity since grad school (now almost 20 years).

I eventually realized that current productivity approaches aren’t enough. They lack a solid psychological underpinning and don’t teach people the critical role of passion and excitement for thriving in school, work, and life.

Thankfully, my training in Organizational Psychology (the study of work-related behavior) and Positive Psychology (the study of the conditions under which people thrive), combined with my own original research, gave me the knowledge I needed to figure out a better way of staying productive and engaged in school, work, and life. After teaching as a psychology professor for 6 years I decided it was time to help a larger audience of students and professionals through Productive for Good. I want to give you the guidance that will free you to do great things in your work while being driven by excitement along the way.

I take a different approach to productivity and ADHD that explicitly incorporates the many projects and interests you’re passionate about. Those passions aren’t barriers to your productivity – they’re your superpower. You just need to learn to use them.
