Testimonials
“Doing the best work you can so that you can be truly happy”
I started OptimalWork because I was surrounded by guys who seemed to be getting
a lot out of the program, and they were very enthusiastic about it. OW taught me
to be excited about my work even if I don't find the content of what I'm doing
intrinsically exciting. OW also reminds me that working well isn't about impressing
people or making more money. It's about doing the best work you can so that you can
be truly happy. And it's about helping people as much as you can with the gifts
that you have, while always striving to grow and give more of yourself for others.

“Helps me to connect my specific tasks with ideals”
I started using OptimalWork because I wanted to be more productive at work and
more effective at managing my time, both at work and outside of work. Before OW,
I could spend my day getting distracted by small tasks, emails, meetings, and thus
at the end of the day, I wasn't able to point to anything substantial that I
accomplished for the day. With the Golden Hour framework, my work day is now
structured in sprints with short breaks in between instead of long chunks, which
prevents me from growing tired or giving into distractions. OptimalWork helps me
to connect my specific tasks with the ideals I want to grow in.

“Grow not only as a professional but also as a person”
When I was introduced to this great tool, I had trouble focusing on one task for
more than 15 min. OptimalWork was a way of visualizing and monitoring where I
wanted to go in my work. I have learned to apply the Golden Hour method
to my relationships with others: grabbing a meal, having a conversation, during a
meeting. This means the person I am with is receiving 100% of my love and
attention. The ideals taught in OW help me grow not only as a professional
but also as a person.
