Before, I felt like I was working every waking moment, seven days a week, aside from the time needed to do the most basic parenting and household chores. I was constantly apologizing for rescheduling my parent-child date nights. Now, I spend most evenings and weekends with my family. I’ve prioritized taking breaks for myself during working hours as well.

​

Optimyzed Brain jam-packs many mind-blowing (and naturally mind-altering) tools and techniques. By doing little things that make an enormous difference in brain performance, I was able to gain awareness of how unproductive I had been when slogging through my days.

​

I've gained a lot more clarity in what to do "now and next" with much less anxiety over trying to accomplish way too much over a short period of time. With enhanced mental clarity, I’ve reduced time lost to second-guessing myself and hence my workload.

​

My pre- and post-Optimyzed Brain self-assessments showed I experienced a 125% increase in being able to make decisions with clarity and certainty. That’s one of the many things I loved about this program. It’s a well-designed system and process that not only guided me towards my better, higher-performing self but also helped me keep track of my quantifiable progress along the way.

 

One of the core teachings in Optimyzed Brain is how our physiology (body) impacts our brain. All the physiological changes I experienced helped me think more clearly and hence much more efficiently. 

​

I've read about how to better “fuel your brain” before but the words and insights through Optimyzed Brain just really stuck. As I developed my skills and habits to become evermore “brain-food conscious”, it was no longer a mystery why I’d feel sluggish after eating something I shouldn’t have. The simple food hacks that can be integrated into any type of diet gave me the kickstart that I needed and I now appreciate the science behind how and why it matters to prioritize brain nutrition.

 

I had long understood that I needed to rejig my days to create more time for uninterrupted work. However, obvious habits aren’t always the easiest to implement and I think that’s where the Optimyzed Brain magic lies. The system not only coached me on how to schedule my days but also gave me easy hacks to focus my attention. The result is that my concentration “spans” increased from 30 minutes to 90 minutes - a three-fold increase. These longer periods of concentration mean I’m able to work while being fully present, without the nagging voice inside my head that doubts every decision or distracts me with all the other things I must get done. 

 

I now prioritize getting 8 hours of sleep a night. I went from struggling through days on sub-6 hours sleep (believing I was great and on top of things!) to be finely attuned to the negative impacts of even just 30 minutes less sleep than I needed. This was the game changer. Now that my brain is starting to get the nightly sleep it needs, I know everything else will fall into place.

 

With a well-rested and restored mind, I now have the intrinsic motivation and self-control to do what I say I’ll do when I say I’ll do it. Decisions and actions now flow faster than before. For example, today, I realized I had collapsed a routine I’ve been doing 3 x per week over the last several months from 2 hours to 1 hour! With no stress! It actually felt like I had used more time even though I had used half the time. For the first time in months, I was able to finish my work and have an entire Sunday afternoon “off” - totally guilt-free - to hang out with my family.
