About

This study will consist of an experimental group and a control group. Approximately 150 adult males and females from the ages of 19+ will take part in this study. Subjects will be divided into a Control and Experimental Group. Subjects for the control and experimental group will be recruited from our internal database of subjects who have previously shown interest in studies and from userinterviews. Subjects in the experimental group (RPM Group) will be admitted to the Tony Robbins Rapid Planning Method (RPM) virtually at no cost, while the subjects assigned to the control group, will not attend the event, but instead be required to regularly complete journaling involving a to-do-list of their weekly work tasks. Psychological assessment surveys will be taken before the event, and at 1 week (day 8-13), and 4 weeks (day 29-34) post intervention. The control group will take the psychological assessment before beginning journaling, and at 1 week (day 8-13), and 4 weeks (day 29-34) post intervention.

Full description

For the journaling control group, subjects will be asked to write a weekly to-do-list at least once weekly at the beginning of the week. And at least read, or refer to their journal on a daily basis as direction for the work activities of the day.

The 3-day RPM (Rapid Planning Method) event by Tony Robbins involves online seminar based training sessions designed to enhance participants' productivity, goal-setting abilities, and time management skills. On the first day, subjects engage in virtual workshops focused on establishing clear, specific, and achievable goals through the RPM framework, which emphasizes purpose-driven planning. Day two consists of interactive virtual sessions where participants develop personalized action plans, incorporating Robbins' strategies for prioritizing and organizing tasks. Throughout the event, participants partake in motivational exercises aimed at increasing engagement, self-efficacy, and clarity of vision. The final day includes collaborative virtual activities where subjects practice RPM techniques in real-world scenarios, receive feedback, and refine their plans.

Psychological assessment surveys will be taken before the event, and at 1 week (day 8-13), and 4 weeks (day 29-34) post intervention. The control group will take the psychological assessment before beginning journaling, and at 1 week (day 8-13), and 4 weeks (day 29-34) post intervention.
