Time management for the 21st century.

The 5 Choices is based on the latest neuroscience research and decades of experience in time management.

Every day brings a crushing wave of demands: a barrage of texts, emails, interruptions, meetings, phone calls, tweets, breaking news—not to mention the high-pressure demands of our jobs—which can be overwhelming and exhausting. The sheer number of distractions can threaten our ability to think clearly, make good decisions, and accomplish what matters most. The 5 Choices is time management redefined: through five fundamental choices, this course increases the productivity of individuals and empowers you to make selective, high-impact choices about where to invest your valuable time, attention, and energy.

“The secret to feeling and being highly accomplished is to rewire our brain to make intentional high value decision, have very focused attention, and have the sustainable energy to make it all happen.”
Kory Kogan, Author of The 5 Choices: Path to Extraordinary Productivity®

“Time management, project management, and communication skills are the three core competencies in the 21st century for knowledge workers.”

Kory Kogan, Author of The 5 Choices: Path to Extraordinary Productivity®

“All the research shows that every decision you make depletes energy from your brain that can be put to better use.”

Kory Kogan, Author of The 5 Choices: Path to Extraordinary Productivity®

“Productivity is helping people get to their own potential. It’s when people go to sleep at night and they feel like they’ve done two or three things that were very important to them that day.”

Kory Koga, Author of The 5 Choices: Path to Extraordinary Productivity®

“It is important to implement a process of discernment. You have to create guidelines around all of the incoming (stimulus).”

Kory Kogan, Author of The 5 Choices: Path to Extraordinary Productivity®
