What If You Could
Accomplish 30% More
Every Day... Effortlessly!
Dear freelance professional,
Over the past 12 years, I've stumbled into ideas that have helped me boost my productivity by 30% to 50%.
The impact on my business and personal life have been dramatic.
These ideas and strategies have enabled me to write three books ... while also juggling a freelance writing practice.
I've launched a successful side business that has quickly taken a life of its own: High Income Business Writing.
And for three years I led the world's biggest online conference for freelancers and solos: International Freelancers Day, which has hosted more than 30,000 attendees from around the world.
Every month, I create fresh new training content. I publish an information-packed weekly podcast. And every year I assemble a huge annual report on the freelance industry ... publish educational programs and courses ... speak at conferences ... and coach other freelancers and solopreneurs.
Sounds like a lot when I say it. But you know what? It doesn't feel that way.
For me, this workload feels ... well, effortless.
No, I'm not some sort of time-management ninja. And I’m definitely NOT a productivity geek. I'm not into productivity tools, software and apps. In fact, I’m very much a paper-and-pen kind of guy.
The real reason I get so much done with minimal stress boils down to one word…
Focus!
I’ve learned how to focus my talents, energy and daily activities in order to create a "multiplier effect" in my business.
And it’s precisely this multiplier effect that enables me to accomplish more in one day than most people do in three or four days.
It enables me to run two very successful businesses … take weekends off … free up most Fridays for myself. And be a great husband and dad to my two active boys.
I'd like to share with you how you can use my strategies and techniques to boost your own productivity by 30% or more ... and with less stress. But first, I want to explain how I discovered these productivity secrets.
I Wasn't Born This Way!
I wasn't born with these skills. I was FORCED to develop them.
It started when I worked in sales. I managed large territories and had big quotas. But I also had very few resources available to me. So I had to learn how to be very efficient with my time and energy. I quickly figured out that was the only way I could make my numbers AND keep my sanity.
A few years later, I decided to try freelancing as a part-time venture. I still had my demanding day job. So here again I had to figure out how to develop laser-sharp focus. That was the only way I could build my business on the side without compromising my day-job performance.
A few years ago, I had yet another challenge. Pete Savage, Steve Slaunwhite and I landed a book deal with Penguin to write The Wealthy Freelancer. I already had a full client load, and now I had a new set of deadlines to deal with.
Yet I was able to meet all the publisher’s deadlines, keep my freelance clients happy and have time for myself and my family.
How did I do it? I applied what I had already learned. Plus, I implemented new strategies and techniques.
Bottom line: the high productivity I consistently maintain in my business is NOT an inborn skill. It involved 12+ years of trial and error.
And now that I’ve mastered the skill, readers and colleagues constantly ask me...
“Dude, how do you get so much done?"
So after years of giving away a few pieces of my overall all approach, I’ve decided to put it all together into a nuts-and-bolts program called…
Effortless Productivity:
How to Accomplish 30% More Every Day
Naturally and With Less Stress
I knew that I could easily make the cost of the course back with just one new approach or tool and Ed didn't disappoint. I'm now planning my days differently using his proprietary spreadsheet and have managed to boost my income by 50% in just the first couple of weeks after the course by getting more income-generating work done.
Marcia Layton Turner , Rochester, NY
Thank you so much for offering this course. I have already recognized a return on investment through using the 50/20/50 time blocking technique. A project I priced based on 6 hours of work was completed in 4 last week through using your method. I wanted to share with you the incredible value I've gotten from the Kolbe survey. I am now processing this information and developing a strategy to move my business in a direction that plays on my strengths rather than just whatever business I can land with my marketing efforts.

Ed's 'Effortless Productivity' program was a gift. You simply can't go comparison shopping for something like this. It was presented by a freelancer for freelancers. Every part of Ed's presentation resonated clearly as something that I could implement to completely change the way I work.
Paul Fromberg , Lincolnwood, Illinois
I have read and implemented a few classic books on productivity. Ed's program not only confirmed the best of that material, but added new insights and combinations that are changing the way that I work.. I am still absorbing the material, but already I am happier, less stressed and more productive. If you are a solo freelancer that ever gets overwhelmed by the demands on your attention and time, you owe it to yourself to do this course!

This Is Not The Typical Time-Management Advice
OK … so you’ve heard the old “boost your productivity” promise before. It’s nothing new.
But here’s the thing. Most traditional productivity-improvement information focuses on the wrong thing — time management.
Unfortunately, you can’t manage time! Time is a constant. You can’t store it. You can't pause it. You can’t make more of it.
So if you work from the “time management” paradigm, it won’t be long before you end up frustrated and give up.
Sure, you’ll make some improvements. But those improvements will inadequate and short-lived.
You Have to Look at the Problem DIFFERENTLY
If you really want to make massive improvements in your productivity, you have to look at the problem differently.
Rather than trying to manage time, you have to focus on better leveraging your…
- Talent
- Energy
- Focus
Make a few simple adjustments in how you manage these factors, and you’ll start seeing massive improvements in your productivity.
Plus, you’ll be happier, healthier, more creative. And just more fun to be around!

I got a valuable 'a-ha' moment in the very first session! Excellent, practical ideas and tools that I've been able to put into practice right away. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to control their workday instead of having their workday control them
Charlotte S. Hicks, Wilmington NC
A very good investment in my new business. Ed showed me ways to look at myself and the way I work that I haven't seen anywhere else. I've already begun applying some of the principles and techniques and I can see a real difference in my daily productivity. I feel more focussed and in control of my day.
Robin Kirkley , London, England
I L-O-V-E-D this program! I learned so much and it has spurred me to make changes to how I plan my day and make my day more profitable and productive. So many great tips, and the "Finding My Gifts" (session 1) was a real eye-opener. I loved "fishing" for compliments in the name of research 🙂 But you know... I saw so many patterns, it was awesome!
Kathy Mercure , New Brunswick, Canada
Ed Gandia's Effortless Productivity program has opened my mind and imagination to fun, efficient, innovative ways to achieve my goals. My focus is sharper, my work productivity is up, and I feel empowered to accomplish more each day. Thank you, Ed!
Michele DeLima , Stonington, CT
Ed's program is full of great tips and tricks on how to be more productive. I'm already implementing some of his ideas which have helped me be much more efficient during my day. Everyone should take this seminar!
Megan, Chicago, IL
This program was an exceptional investment I made into both my writing career and into myself! Unlike the traditional time management programs that tout increased productivity by asking one to fit into a rigid set of rules to do more and more in one’s work day, Ed Gandia keeps this program down-to-earth, practical, and open ended, with a wide variety of tips to what works best in the individual’s life. I found increased productivity evident from the very first application of what I had learned. When one builds on one’s own strengths, new ideas develop new habits that truly pay off, not just in the short term, but also consistently over the course of one’s career.

I think that this is the course that most people should take first if they want to make effective use of the moments available for their most important tasks. They will discover much greater and more meaningful productivity in their lives as a result.
Richard Leach , Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada
Just wanted to say thank you for your excellent Effortless Productivity program!! I am returning to freelancing after 18 months as an ad agency project manager and it is really helping me to reset my solo business.
Mary Shaw , Norwalk, Connecticut
This was a great course. So far, (just a week after it ended), I have implemented a couple of Ed's suggestions with great success. I am starting to feel on top of my workload!
Jane , United Kingdom
I wanted to thank you - I really enjoyed the productivity seminar very much. What I found especially helpful was your chart and the method behind it. I've been in business for almost two years. The hardest part is not the writing - it's the juggling, and the selling and the dealing with driving my kids around while trying to schedule work.

Go Through It At Your Own Pace
Effortless Productivity: How to Accomplish 30% More Every Day Naturally and With Less Stress is an online program delivered "on demand."
That means you can go through each session at your own pace. There's NO travel. And no schedules to keep track of. In fact, you have LIFETIME access to the material.
The program contains three audio sessions. Each session is about 90 minutes long, and each session includes handouts and full PDF transcripts.
Whom Is This Program For?
This program is perfect if you're a:
- Freelancer in any creative discipline
- Project-based consultant
- Project-based solopreneur
Basically, you'll benefit greatly if you're a self-employed professional who works mainly on a project basis AND has full control over your own schedule. (In other words, you work from home or in your own office — as opposed to going to a client's office every single day.)
Fast Payoff
Getting more done has obvious benefits. But do you want to know why boosting your productivity is so important?
When you're self-employed, there are only four ways to boost your income. You can either ...
- Land more clients and projects,
- Raise your fees,
- Start landing higher-paying projects, or
- Boost your productivity
The first three options don’t just happen overnight. Sure, you could raise your fees tomorrow. But that takes some planning. And it often involves finding new clients, which can also take time.
Offering more profitable services typically involves learning a new skill. Or pitching new ideas to prospects and clients. There again, that kind of thing takes time to generate results.
But the fourth way of boosting your income is different. It doesn’t involve your clients. Or pitching ideas. Or starting new promotional campaigns. Or learning how to deliver something new.
Best of all, the payoff can be almost immediate.
Improve Your Productivity By 30% or More
Here's my promise: If you implement just a handful of the strategies and techniques you'll learn in this program, you'll improve your productivity by 30% or more.
What does that mean?
It means that if you work 40 hours a week, you could potentially "free up" 12+ hours every week.
Think about that.
It means that you could gain one full day (or more) EVERY WEEK. Or to put it another way, you could do in four days what normally takes you five days to do!
What could you do with that extra time?
You could take more time off. Spend more time with your family. Take more vacations. Work on projects you've been putting off for years.
Or you could split it up. You could take on a bit more work and still take more time off!
Yeah, Right, Ed!
Now, I realize those numbers sound almost unbelievable. I would be a bit skeptical, too, if I were in your shoes.
So let's look at some hypothetical numbers. Let's assume that this program does NOT perform as well as I’m promising. Let's be very conservative. Say that instead of boosting your productivity by 30% or more, you're able to get just ONE extra hour of time per day.
That's still five extra hours per week! That's basically a Friday afternoon off to relax or do whatever you want.
An Extra $12,000 Worth of Time!
Or say you want to use that extra time to take on more client work. If that's the case, what's your time worth? If your average hourly earnings is $50... Five extra hours per week equals 20 extra hours per month. At $50 an hour, that's an extra $1,000 per month.
Which translates into $12,000 more in extra income a year!
So you can probably see why this information is worth thousands of dollars. In fact, if I were offering this in a live group-coaching format, I would probably charge at least $1,000 for it. Probably more.
But I've been sitting on this information for far too long. And I have other projects on the go that are keeping me from putting together a more intensive training.
So rather than wait until the time is right for a full-blown program, I'd rather just give you the information in a simpler,more convenient format. That way you get to benefit from the information now. And you get it at a price that's, frankly, ridiculously low.
Instead of charging hundreds for this valuable information and training, I'm going to offer it to you for only $97 $29.
It's an offer that may go away at any moment. So if you're interested, don't delay.

Again, even if you only get ONE extra hour of time every day, this program will pay for itself MANY times over in the next 30 to 90 days.
I know it’s a crazy offer. But after years of getting requests for my productivity secrets (and giving out just part of my formula here and there), I have to get this material out there.

“I've only been using the concepts I learned for a couple of weeks, but I've already gained several hours of productivity from the 50 minute focus technique. That alone makes the course worth it!”
--Li Vasquez-Noone

“Ed has a gift for sharing useful, relevant, applicable information in his podcasts and web classes. As a working writer, I'm happy to make time to listen to whatever he puts out there.”
--Angus Stocking
Paonia, CO
“Getting a handle on capacity planning and daily scheduling has increased my productivity enough that the cost of the class has definitely earned itself back in a matter of days. Not to mention how the other tools I learned from this class have significantly increased my daily happiness. Thanks Ed, this class was just the boost I needed.”
--Ann Rose
Vestal, NY
“The genius of Ed's program is how well it organizes, explains and encourages techniques that I've used occasionally in the past--but only when on a tight deadline. Once the crisis was past, I had let the highly productive techniques slide. No longer. Ed has convinced me how worthwhile it is to consistently implement these strategies and make them a daily habit!”
--Carolyn Kourofsky
Rochester, NY
“Great investment! I've applied 50-20-50 to my days and learned how to be productive when working from home. I learned more about myself and why I do the things I do by taking the time to evaluate my habits after each of Ed's sessions.”
--Colleen

“Ed's productivity program is for any creative personality needing to add some structure to their work day and hold themselves accountable for their time. This is not about working within a box, it's about using your God-given strengths to your business's advantage.”

Goshen, Ky, USA

His class far exceeded my expectations.”
--Chemene Phillips
Roseville, CA
“When I first heard about it, I hesitated to sign up for yet another program but I am so glad I made the decision to participate. I implemented two of the ideas (50:20:50 and Capacity Planner) right away and my productivity shot way up. These tools are helping me to focus in a way it seemed that I had never been able to do before. Thank you, Ed!”
--Marty Marsh
Palm Springs, CA
“I signed up for this program in a moment of frustration because I was in "spinning my wheels" mode. The approach was surprising and different, and I was particularly pleased with the tools Ed provided in session 2. Definitely worth the time and money I invested. Thanks, Ed!”

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“Awesome Value! Great tips on clearing the mind to be able to focus on what you do best. Ed's 50-minute technique. PRICELESS!”
--Carol Matjasich
Chicago, Illinois
“I have already started feeling the value of this webinar. The first session was an eye-opener to strengths and a good pointer to the type of work I might pursue to also improve productivity and job satisfaction. The 2nd and 3rd sessions provided hard tips to use. I'm working through those now and am definitely seeing the benefits. Hoping to make them "habits" by the time my busiest quarterly months hit.”
--Kellie
Georgia
“This program is great. Bits and pieces of the subject matter I have come across in my meanderings around the web and business magazines. But this class summed them up and showed how they can be applied and how they are being applied by a creative. And I learned a few tricks too.”
--Scott Souchock
Seattle, WA
“This seminar is exactly what I needed, was feeling a bit overwhelmed with so many bits and pieces to manage on a daily basis. The email suggestions are great. I am trying to break my day down and not feel the need to reply to everyone all the time. It's really eye opening once you try to see how to manage your day to see how poorly you did it in the first place. Love all the great tips but mostly that you can try them as needed and not everything at once.”
--Gina Mims - Inspiro Brands, Inc.
Aliso Viejo, CA
“Ed's program was quite refreshing. His approach on time was easy to grasp and the solutions were easy. I love the break down for work sessions. Having a few breaks through out the day totally boost my energy and productivity when I was focused on my work.”
