Hi Friend-
I'm about to open registration for RESET in a few weeks — on September 29th — and I wanted to give you a heads up.
The last time I launched the course was back in January of 2020. In other words: Lifetimes ago in another world.
Since then, everything we know about daily life has been shaken up. Many of us have lost the scaffolding that used to guide us to, and through, our workdays: Our commutes, our office spaces, our conversations by the water cooler.
And while there is much to grieve about losing those core elements of our workday and the regular in-person social interactions that they fostered, I think there is also an opportunity here.
The opportunity to re-engineer and recalibrate your workflow outside of the social pressures of the office — outside of the pressures to "perform busywork."

I held off on relaunching RESET for a long time because it didn't feel like focusing on productivity was what we needed. Initially, we just needed to get our bearings, and stay safe, and learn how to navigate this new world.
But now we're getting back into the swing of things. And it's clear that working from home is not going anywhere. That remote work will become significantly more commonplace even after things "return to normal."
Our workplaces had already made a huge shift towards more self-management with open plan offices and the flattening of the workplace hierarchy, and now that shift is being magnified even further. Which means that learning how to wisely manage your self, your time, and your workflow is only becoming more important.
RESET can show you how to make this transition with grace. It's all about shifting from a speed-obsessed way of working — where you're guided by others' priorities — to a more sustainable, heart-centered way of working — where you're guided by your priorities.
RESET shows you how to align your workflow with the natural energetic rhythms of your body, how to set boundaries with technology and say no, and how to adapt your media diet and work habits to make room for more creativity.

Since I launched RESET in 2019, almost a thousand people have been through the course. And the most exciting outcome for me has been hearing how it gave them permission to take back control of their workday. That people no longer felt they had to be a slave to their inbox or an endless stream of meetings. That they had the power to do things differently.
Since you've been on this email list considering whether or not to take the course for awhile, I thought I'd share a few common themes that have emerged about what people are taking away from RESET: - New clarity around their priorities and goals
- A framework for structuring their days and making decisions
- A feeling of empowerment and permission to work the way they want
- Tools for being kinder to themselves in the face of stress & overwhelm
- Renewed creative output, motivation, and optimism
Here's what a few recent students have said about their experience:
"RESET is the most humanistic method for professional development that I have ever experienced. It brought me energy and calm by reminding me of how much power we already possess."
—Jesse Colby, Designer
"RESET is an antidote to the cult of busy-ness that we feel so trapped by. It changed the way I view my work and helped me dig deeper into the goals that are truly meaningful to me. I am seeing a marked improvement in my focus and sense of clarity. It's not hyperbolic to say that going through this course has been a life-changing experience."
—Marie Williams
"RESET came at the perfect time for me — as I was going through another bout of burnout. The tools I gained from the course have helped me create a new vision for myself. I'm excited and optimistic for the first time in years."
—Karoline S., Psychologist
"A lot of productivity advice tends to be very hard and fast — the gentleness of Jocelyn's approach really sets this course apart. I feel more productive and much calmer."
—Romas Kazlauskas, Biochemist
"In the wake of taking the course, I feel a greater sense of spaciousness and permission to make room for what matters to me."
—Lucy Bellwood, Graphic Artist
"I managed to achieve more in last month while taking RESET than the 3 years before that."
—Rogier Schoenmaker, Web Developer

RESET re-opens for registration on September 29th, and the 4-week course begins on October 11th.
I would love to have you join me in learning how to lay down the burden of "the old way of working."
A new, more nourishing way of moving through your workday is available to you if you're willing and ready for change. : )
Much love,
Jocelyn
