Will You Have This Top Regret of the Dying?
Scientific Studies Discover the “Perceived Opportunity Regret” Behind Life’s Greatest Disappointments
Think back for a minute on your biggest regrets: are they things you did or things you didn’t do?
In other words, do you regret asking out a crush? Or not asking one out?
Do you regret asking for a raise? Or not asking for a raise?
Do you regret action? Or inaction?
If you’re like the subjects of two scientific studies conducted by researchers at Cornell University and the University of Illinois, your greatest regrets are things you didn’t do but could have.
This is the Perceived Opportunity Regret.[1]
It’s important here to note that we’re not talking about our childhood “opportunities” of becoming crime-fighting superheroes…those aren’t perceived opportunities, because we all know they’re fantasies (as awesome as they are).
What I’m talking about are things you actually could have done. The things that are important in life.
In my work training thousands of clients to become more productive and efficient, I’ve seen this one regret come up again and again. And there’s good reason; studies have found it’s one of the top five regrets of the dying:
I wish I’d worked less.
Worked less? We’re a productivity-training company—shouldn’t we be telling you to work more?
Surprisingly, no. We don’t want you to work more, we want you to work more efficiently. Being lazy isn’t your problem.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- “I’m just putting out one fire after another at work…there’s no time to put towards being more efficient or long-term planning.”
- “I’ve been working at 70-80% effort every day for years on end. My attention is never focused.”
- “I wake up in the morning and lie in bed as everything I have to do rushes through my brain. My heartrate goes up slightly, my foot starts jiggling, all the nervous B.S. kicks in, and I feel overwhelmed before I’ve even really started my day.”
- “I don’t let myself take time off because I don’t deserve the downtime…I haven’t worked hard enough.”
- “Unexpected ‘emergencies’ and interruptions throw off my whole day almost every day. By the time I get home, my kids are asleep and I’m too tired do anything except check Facebook and go to bed.”
- “I push and push myself without being able to relax, but my productivity and happiness only continue to plummet.”
- “I took this job to provide for my family, but I never see them.”
You work too much, yet you can’t focus. You can’t motivate yourself to get started. You do way too much stuff last-minute.
You know that when you look back on your life, your regret won’t be that presentation or meeting—but the time you missed with your kids, spouse, or parents (especially in their later years). The book you didn’t write. The business you didn’t create. What you don’t know is what to do.
What if I told you I had a system that could fix all this? Something that could:
- Give you hours a week more with your family.
- Let you relax without feeling guilty.
- Take you off the treadmill of endless work emergencies, distractions, and crises and put you back in charge of your time and energy: your life.
- Let you accomplish the great things you know you’re capable of.
- Get you unstuck from the trivialities that consume your day-to-day—so you can focus on the work that matters.
- Eliminate the twisting, knotting, churning anxiety in your stomach that tells you another day has been spent…on things that don’t matter.
- Take you from always doing things last minute to getting things done ahead of schedule.
- Help you instantly generate motivation, so when you sit down to work, you get started right away.
The key here is that you have to move from Perceived Opportunity to Seized Opportunity.
You know this Opportunity is real, or you wouldn’t be here looking for answers.
Thousands before you have used the system I want to share with you to completely transform their lives. It’s called the Productivity Blueprint, the one-stop course for gaining focus, reducing distractions, and mastering motivation.
Are you ready to let go of your guilt and self-doubt from not living the life you were meant to?
Is This Right for You?
I can’t wait to share the details with you, but before I do that, I want to take a quick minute to be upfront. To tell you the truth, what I’m about to share isn’t for everyone, and I don’t want to waste your time if that’s the case.
If any of the following describes you, stop reading now and close this tab:
Deep down, you know you can’t be productive. Whatever the excuse is, you just believe you’re defective. Sure, other people can overcome their problems, but you can’t. It’s just impossible. Must be nice for those people who don’t have your problems, but let’s be realistic: you’re never going to achieve your dreams. (Note: these are 100% untrue, self-limiting beliefs. In my years of working with thousands of clients, I’ve never met someone who couldn’t become productive. But if you don’t believe this, the Productivity Blueprint isn’t for you. You need to work on your beliefs first.)
You’d have to take on debt to invest in this course. That’s not an investment, it’s more debt. While this course has helped students skyrocket their careers and businesses, it’s not in any way, shape, or form a “make more money” course. Earn enough cash to pay for the course outright, and then come back to the blueprint.
You’re looking to apply the GTD method, the 12 Week Year, set up OmniFocus, or implement any other method to your life. I’m a huge fan of these methods, but we don’t cover them in the course. What we offer is a unique approach that is a hybrid of reading, teaching, experience, and self-experimentation that you can’t get anywhere else.
You’re already an experienced productivity ninja who’s read a million productivity books, taken other courses, and systematically implemented everything. If you already live productively, this course isn’t for you.
You’re looking for a medical cure for ADD, ADHD, hyperactivity, or any other medical condition. We’re not doctors, and we don’t offer medical advice in this course.
On the other hand, if you can relate to the following, you definitely want to keep reading:
Deep down you know you can become more productive, even though you’re frustrated with yourself. Even if you feel like you fail yourself every day. You know you can achieve great things. You know you can conquer your current limitations to become the productive, successful person you’re meant to be. You might get discouraged or doubt yourself sometimes, but you always have that hope.
You’re terrified of missing out on what’s most important: time with your family, kids, and friends. You don’t want to look back at the end of your life and realize you spent way too much time working and not nearly enough with the important people in your life.
You’re ready to ACT, not passively consume. You’re tired of consuming productivity information and never acting on it. You want to live productively, not just know about productivity.
You’re aware of your mortality. You know that your productivity journey is about so much more than calendar apps and to-do lists: it’s about making the most of your life. Of not wasting your time on earth. Of looking back decades from now and knowing you put in your all.
You’re focused on the long term. You don’t think that adjusting a few settings on a productivity app will make you a ninja overnight. You know that you’re in this for the long haul.
You also want immediate results. Although you’re in this for the long term, you do want to see some immediate gains now. You’re not into “putting your intentions into the universe.” You want concrete results now—and 20+ years from now.
You want your life to match your dreams. You’re tired of fantasizing about starting that business, writing that book, taking that vacation…you want to actually make it happen.
You want respect and admiration from your family, friends, coworkers, and employees. You feel like you let people down, and that isn’t acceptable. You know you’re capable of more than that, and you know that greater focus, motivation, and self-discipline will get you there.
OK, You’re Still Interested. What Do You Get?
With that out of the way, let’s get down to the course. What exactly do you get when you invest in the Productivity Blueprint?
Well, when we built this course, we went all out. We wanted our productivity course to be unmatched in content and quality. By “all out,” I mean we flew to Hollywood, California, booked a professional studio, and put in multiple 20+ hour days to prepare, shoot, and edit this course. (As you’ll see in the course, we don’t recommend this, but we were excited and we wanted to get it done right.)
We actually thought we might go crazy just from the amount of preparation that went into it. I’ve always been ambitious, even in my less productive days, but putting together the Productivity Blueprint took things to another level.
And that’s not even getting into the months we’d already spent interviewing people interested in productivity, getting to the root of their problems, giving them personalized suggestions, getting their direct feedback, and finding out what REALLY WORKS. These were people from all walks of life: doctors, entrepreneurs, stay-at-home parents, scientists, software developers, ministers, consultants, photographers.
Why Did We Do All This?
Because we wanted a course that would help anyone live the productive life they dream of, and we weren’t happy with the other options out there. For example, just Google “productivity course” and the stuff you’ll find is…less than inspiring.
Other courses are focused on productivity in organizations (like how to run better meetings), and the few that try to teach you productivity for yourself fall short.
Or they’re extremely expensive in-person courses that you have to get a group of people together for so you can pool the money to afford to fly in the teacher. It’s really not feasible. And then when your expensive group session’s over, your access to the teacher is over, too. If you lose your notes or handouts…they’re just gone, forever, along with all the information in them.
And many online courses only let you have 30 days of access to the material. Assuming you want to make real changes in your life, 30 days of access just doesn’t seem fair. Why shouldn’t you be able to review the material at your own pace, whenever you want? Why shouldn’t you be able to prioritize the areas you want to change in—and come back to the others in six months if you feel like it?
Flying in experts or paying for 30-day access just doesn’t cut it.
On the other hand, what were doing had inherent limitations. You see, when we started Asian Efficiency, it was a coaching business. We coached high-level entrepreneurs and CEOs, and we saw amazing results. But the frustrating thing was that we were limited by time.
There were only so many people we could coach at a time. Combine our desire to help more people with the lack of good, foundational courses on productivity, and you get the Productivity Blueprint. After years of coaching, finally: we wouldn’t be constrained by our time anymore. The information we shared with our students would be available to anyone.
Because what I want to share with you in this course is exactly the information we shared with our clients. We’ve packaged all the best information in a logical, step-by-step format.
Our clients paid us $1,000 per hour for this information. Now, you get it for a fraction of that price. And, unlike with coaching calls, you have lifetime access to all the videos, worksheets, screencasts, and bonuses.
I’m excited to share with you now the result of all that coaching, research, interviewing, testing, fine-tuning, prepping, shooting, editing, and more.
Here exactly what you’ll get when you invest in the Productivity Blueprint:
3 Modules Covering

Here’s the Big Picture
I just threw a lot of information about the Productivity Blueprint at you, so I want to make sure I also show you the big picture. I’m excited to reveal something we’ve been working on—an exclusive model that shows how all the pieces fit together into a cohesive whole: you living your ideal life.
We call it the Productivity Pyramid, and for the first time ever, here it is:
As you can see in the Productivity Pyramid, your ideal life is a result of three essential characteristics: action, focus, and discipline. This is in stark contrast to the time-sucking trifecta most people live their lives by: procrastination, distraction, and weak willpower.
Once you master action, focus, and discipline, you’ll be lightyears ahead of 99% of your peers. Your path to your ideal life will be clear. And at the end of your life, you’ll look back with satisfaction. You’ll know that you made the most of your talents and ambition and that you spent your time on what’s most important to you.
Heady stuff. But what it all comes down to is simple: the specific tactics and strategies we teach you in the Productivity Blueprint. I’ve included a few that develop each essential characteristic, and we cover many more in the course.
Commonly Asked Questions
At this point, you probably have some questions about the Productivity Blueprint. Here are some of the most frequent ones we get. If you have any other questions, please email us at support@asianefficiency.com and we’ll respond right away.
Is this course live?
No, this is an online video course that you can access 24/7 from any device (computer, smartphone, tablet). It includes lifetime access to all the materials, techniques, strategies, videos, worksheets, and more.
How do I know this will work for me?
In the months of research we put in before creating this course, we worked with people from all walks of life and all types of personalities. If you’re messy, organized, creative, emotional, logical, a programmer, a lawyer, a stay-at-home parent, a college student, an accountant, an entrepreneur (and so many more): we’ve worked with someone like you.
One of my favorite things about this program is how it lets you be you. We’re not trying to squeeze you into some pre-cast mold of what a productive person “should” be. We’re giving you the fundamental principles anyone can apply to their life to become a more productive person.
How much time does this course take?
We recommend taking a couple afternoons to go through all the material. Because you get lifetime access, you can go as fast or slow as you want.
What makes you qualified to teach this course?
You can’t get a degree in productivity, so what makes someone qualified to teach it? Let me explain.
First, a little bit about me: I was your typical, driven Asian kid. I worked hard on my homework, I was competitive with my siblings about grades, I felt disappointed if I didn’t do my best. All my aunts and uncles bragged about how conscientious their nephew Thanh was. I had ambitious goals, like moving to America (I grew up in the Netherlands) after I finished high school. And I worked really hard to achieve those goals.
But somewhere along the way, I lost my drive. And it all came to a head when I’d finally achieved my biggest goal yet: I was in college in the U.S. But instead of working hard toward another goal, my lack of motivation and drive meant I wasted most of my time on distractions: iPhone notifications, chat applications, Netflix, mindless Internet browsing. After hustling myself into college in the U.S., I dropped out after my second year.
Fast forward only a few years later, and I had become one of the highest-paid productivity consultants in the world. Now I’m CEO of a thriving company, and I work with an amazing team to help hundreds of thousands of people around the world live happier, more productive lives.
Experts at places like Fast Company and the Globe and Mail consider me an expert on productivity.
(In between dropping of college and now was a lot of hard work, reading, research, and trial and error…but I’ll skip that part.)
What I never forget is this: I used to be one of the most unproductive, undisciplined people you could ever meet. At family gatherings, a relative would always ask me some version of, “What are you doing with your life?”
So however unproductive you feel you are, I’ve experienced it, too. I dug myself out of it, and I’ve helped people like you dig themselves out of it.
What’s the difference between the Productivity Blueprint and the Rituals System?
The Rituals System teaches you seven proven rituals that all successful people have in common. It shows you how to eliminate your bad habits and replace them with productive daily rituals.
The Productivity Blueprint teaches you all the mindsets, strategies, and exercises you need to live productively. It goes beyond habits and rituals and into the foundations of a productive life: increasing focus and motivation, conquering distractions, and taking action when you need to. It’s a logical next step if you’re a Rituals System student, but being a Ritual System student isn’t required to succeed with the Productivity Blueprint.
The Productivity Blueprint Has Helped Thousands
of People Get the Lives They Want
Here are just a few of the things our students have had to say:
“The Productivity Blueprint is one of the most accessible and valuable productivity products available anywhere. I’ve not found a more comprehensive program that is such a solid combination of layered, tactical, and practical strategies for the price – and that includes products produced by the likes of Stephen Covey, David Allen, and Tony Robbins.”
-Mike Vardy, The Productivityist
“We all have had the familiar, overwhelming feeling of our world coming at us faster than we could cope. I certainly have. As a full time dental surgeon running my own practice juggling my other roles as a husband and a father of three school going kids, it has always been a challenge trying to find enough time to stay on top of things.
I stumbled upon Asian Efficiency’s articles some time back and immediately found them to be very insightful. Along the way, the articles helped change my thinking on how I can manage my days better and I started to implement the tips mentioned in them. Eventually, I ended up subscribing to Asian Efficiency’s products like Omnifocus Premium Posts, Asian Efficiency Primer and Premium Newsletters, and I always look forward to learning from these articles.
Later, I joined Productivity Blueprint because I was expecting another quality product from Asian Efficiency. The topics in the training videos are delivered in a straightforward and concise manner, and you feel like you have a personal trainer by your side giving you clear instructions on how to improve your personal system and mindset to become more productive and efficient every day.
I am still in the process of learning how to manage my days better and honestly, I am enjoying this process of doing it at my own pace while juggling a busy practice and my commitments at home. No pressure. I just choose to do it how fast or how slow I want to but I know that everyday I am getting better than I was the day before. The training videos allow me to revisit any topics as and when I feel a need to as I work through my unique productivity challenges daily. And when I have any questions, Asian Efficiency is always ready to help with more personalized information.
The Productivity Blueprint is not cheap if you do not value becoming more productive and efficient many times over. For me, I can only say the videos has taught me a lot. If you are willing to put in the time and effort to work through the contents, you will definitely benefit from it.
The world will still continue to come at you faster than you can handle, but you will feel a better sense of control knowing that you can only get better with each day if you continue to work on your system and mindset. The Productivity Blueprint will not make your daily productivity challenges go away. It will not make your days easy. But it will make them easier.”
-Ghim C, Singapore
“I am impressed by the depth and the value provided by AE. This has radically changed my perception of productivity. I work less but am getting more done.”
-Mike P, Sweden
“Procrastination was my biggest issue since forever. I purchased the Productivity Blueprint while procrastinating a week or so ago and applied some tactics right away after going through the Procrastination module. The internet marketing work I finished because of it pretty much made my money back. And to think I still have a lot of the course to digest. I can definitely see my procrastinating ways going away for good soon. Thanks guys!”
-Justin L, USA
“As a physician, I’ve always had a decent salary, but since I’ve began following AE, I learned a lot of tricks that made me so much more productive that I’ve earned a leader position in my hospital. More importantly, my family life has improved as has all the different spheres of my life.
It is important to me to express my gratitude to you guys. You played a role in the improvement of my life, globally.”
-Eric S, Canada
“As a partner in a busy accounting practice, I am constantly managing multiple workflows. Clients, staff and fellow partners compete for time with personal commitments from family, church and friends, leaving little capacity to strive after personal goals and find rest. Over the last six months, the team at Asian Efficiency has enabled me, through their material, to push boundaries in all areas of my life, allowing me to increase capacity and do more in less time, leaving me feeling full of energy and with a sense of accomplishment at the end of a long day. Particularly the Focus module of their Productivity Blueprint has made a significant impact on my daily routine in recent weeks.”
-Andres R, Australia
“I am an avid self improvement guru…always looking for the best and most efficient way to live my life and accomplish my goals. The problem is that i have never truly written out and fleshed out what my goals were…so I’d get a lot done but to what end?
Then came Asian Efficiency, these guys are awesome, they give you a framework, respect your Inbox (only send a few emails a month chock full of tasty tips) and they just overall rock!
I’ve signed up for Better Sleep, Premium Newsletter, AE Primer, OmniFocus Premium Posts, and now their Productivity Blueprint.
All have been great the last one is changing my life. I’m more focused, I’ve solidified goals, created timelines and guideposts to reach those goals, been helped with my distractibility and have learned how to focus on what I’ve set out to do!!! And I’m only halfway finished!!!
The modules are layered and immediately practical with action items and practice on the spot. I highly recommend Asian Efficiency and am blown away by their Productivity Blueprint. These guys know their stuff, want to help you succeed and actually put that desire to action!”
-Scott M, USA
“You guys are awesome. Who would have ever thought your site would have such an impact on my life. I am a musician, and at any time am juggling five different jobs as composer, professor, singer, conductor, administrator…. it get’s overwhelming at times. Asian Efficiency has helped me streamline everything. I find I am more productive, engaged about working, and also know when ‘enough is enough’ for one day.
I love all of your content–and while in my head I sometimes say to myself–‘easier said than done’ I find with patience, practice and dedication, I can implement so much of what you talk about. I’m currently on the 5am plan, for example, and I love it! I could go on and on, but I just felt it worth while to share with you guys directly that your work and efforts have certainly helped make my life better–thanks for that, I am looking forward to all the much more.”
-Steven G, USA
“The Productivity Blueprint is the answer of my continual asking: How can I turn the gathered information about productivity into real life habits. I work with IT-management in a local government and face a lot of work to be done. The day starts with a barrage of questions to answer and ends with a great pile of paperwork. As I heard that Aaron an Thanh are starting to publish their essence of productivity knowledge in bits of comprehensive videos, I decided to buy without hesitation. That was the right decision. The videos forged close links with the AE guys and with the methods they show. I benefit from the the right choice of covered Issues and the step-by-step explanations given in the material. That`s the point where knowledge comes to action. I don’t know how they did it, but they have met my needs exactly.”
-Clemens S, Germany
“I started with the e-mail module of the Blueprint. Since then I check my e-mail just once a day, which is a big relief. In my work, people have noticed my different way of writing e-mails. Way more specific and clear. In the blueprint, so far, I really like the combination of philosophical theory and practical guidelines with you can implement right away.”
-Justus, Netherlands
The Blueprint is one level up- it’s timeless and not limited to a certain App, technique or tool. It provides you with the concepts behind all that. It is an investment, for sure, but I never once regretted the purchase.”
-Mat R, Germany
“The Asian Efficiency Team are my productivity Gurus. I spend very little time elsewhere reading productivity articles, blogs, books, etc. Asian Efficiency proved to me with their products that they were my productivity one-stop-shop spot.”
-Joseph L, USA
“I love to have the most productive habits possible, so I had developed quite a number of good habits and shortcuts in the past 15 years. Yet, Asian efficiency really lifts me into the next dimension of personal productivity. You guys are taking GTD to the next few levels with many more tweaks, tricks, and digital digs. I think of you as the Team David Allen of the next generation.”
-Christopher G, Germany
“Very realistic and detailed material. In the beginning I was skeptic, but as I started watching videos I couldn’t stop watching. They give you really good action plan how to start implementing. I have tried few ones and it works! I now have more time to change my behavior and start living a better life.”
-Lauri V, Estonia
“I am very excited by the material I have worked on so far, and in particular the exercise and action screencasts are the key difference between the Productivity Blueprint and everything else I’ve read or listened to. This is filled with practical, actionable steps rather than generic advice.”
-Robin K, UK
“I really enjoyed the training and I’m finding the techniques discussed very helpful in my day-to-day work. I like the length of the videos and the screencasts. Keeping them short helps me fit them in between other larger items and helps keep my attention.”
-Jack F, USA

There’s 2 Types of People…Which One Are You?
In my work with thousands of clients and students over the years (and hundreds of thousands of readers), I’ve found that there are two kinds of people when it comes to productivity.
There are the people who are convinced their life is terrible and their circumstances are so uniquely terrible that nothing they do can change it. When I give them advice and real, practical tips that work for others, all they have is excuses. Needless to say, they skip the Productivity Blueprint.
Why? Because they don’t actually want to change. They want to talk about how bad their life is, pick apart anything that might actually help them, and move on to the next blog or site to do the same thing.
Is that you? Be honest. When I say, “You can be more productive. You can have the life you dream of,” do you respond with, “Yeah, but…”
Because there’s another type of person. There’s the person who takes action. Who believes in themselves and in their vision of their life. Who’s willing to put in the work and change their mindsets. Who’s sick and tired of mediocrity and wants to rise above it.
This person peels back the layers of productivity, moving from one growth phase to the next, going deeper and deeper to the inner core that matters: living life in alignment with their personal values.
Here’s what that person’s life looks like:
- They complete all projects ahead of time. No last-minute crunches or all-nighters to get done what should have been done weeks or days ago.
- When they sit down to work, they feel calm and confident. They get right to work—no motivation battles or willpower struggles.
- When they wake up, they spring out of bed, ready to take on the day, because they know they’ll get a lot done. Every day is a productive day.
- Yet all that productivity means less work and more time with family. Here’s where we get to what matters. These people spend time with their families. They get to see their kids’ swim meets and school plays. They get to take their spouse for a weekend getaway when they feel like it. They get to drop by their aging parents’ house and help out. Work no longer gets in the way of family.
- These people no longer dread looking back at their lives and wondering what they could have accomplished—or regretting missing out on time with their friends and family.
In other words, these people look back at this crossroads and see when they took action and took charge of their lives. They see before: being consumed by last-minute work projects, endless distractions, and an inability to just focus and get the work done.
And they see after: effortless motivation, rock-solid self-discipline, an ability to deal with emergencies and get right back on track. And they see the result: all the time they spent with their family.
They have no Perceived Opportunity Regret.
Remember what I said about one of the top regrets of the dying?
I wish I’d worked less.
And do you remember what the researchers found? At the end of your life, your greatest regrets will be things you didn’t do but could have.
Don’t let the end of your life be consumed by Perceived Opportunity Regret.
Instead, let your future self thank your current self for taking action now.
You deserve it. Your family deserves it.
I can’t wait to hear your success story. –
Thanh Pham and the Asian Efficiency team

I don’t often tell this story. It’s painful. But I wanted to share it with you. You can tell from my pictures that I’m a pretty young guy. What would I know about parents missing out on time with their families?
My parents immigrated from Vietnam to the Netherlands to give me and my brothers better opportunities. They were determined to give us everything they’d never had. So they worked, and they worked hard. I can appreciate that now, but as a kid, it was hard. My parents didn’t attend my soccer games, tennis matches, or swimming lessons. I could barely get them to my middle school graduation. They worked all the time.
They moved to a new country to give me a better life, but it came at a huge cost: not seeing me grow up. They did what had to be done, but they regret it now.
But it comes up at every family reunion and holiday get together. My parents have this regret. They wish they’d been able to spend more time with us. They wish they hadn’t been working all the time. They wish they’d been with me at all those important milestones.
And I wish they had, too. It was really hard.
If you’re like a lot of our students, you don’t want that for your kids. In fact, you’ve probably made a lot of decisions in your life specifically with your family in mind. Like the house you bought, the neighborhood you live in, the schools you send your kids to, the college educations you’re saving for, the salary you negotiated.
So doesn’t it make sense to apply that to your productivity? Because productivity is a decision—one you make every day.
Every time half a day goes by without any work getting done and you have to stay late—you’re not with your family.
Every time you do something last minute because you couldn’t get the motivation to do it sooner—you’re not with your family.
I don’t want you to be in that situation. Ever. It’s why Asian Efficiency exists—to shortcut the process for you. To take out the years of trial and error. To just give you something works—right now and for the rest of your life.
With the Productivity Blueprint, you avoid the mistakes others have made, giving you an edge that’s almost unfair.
Soon, it’ll be you leaving the office right at 5pm. It’ll be you at your kids’ recital, taking them to visit colleges, helping them move into their first apartment.
Let us help you get that.
