Hi! I’m Hardeep πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I have over 10 years’ experience working in Retail Banking here in the UK in a wide range of roles. I’ve managed teams, I’ve delivered new products to the market, and I completed a life-changing Leadership course which kick-started my passion for productivity and self-development. Oh, and I occasionally post videos over at YouTube and have created some classes on Skillshare.

Fair to say, I've learnt a lot along the way. The single most important thing I've learnt about productivity is that most people rely on motivation to get things done. The problem though is that motivation comes in waves. My approach to productivity is to create easy, frictionless systems so that you don't need to rely on motivation to get things done.

"I'm here to help you be productive in the chaos that is life".

More About Me

  • I met my wife at work when we were both 21. It was love at first sight for me, and I spent 3 months trying to woo her before she finally gave in. We got married 3 years later πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨

  • I live in the UK. It's meh most of the time, but it's home πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§
