Welcome!

I teach people a simple time management method to manage the overwhelming volume of "stuff" inundating their lives in order to release and focus their natural talents. The result is typically a relaxed sense of control and a significant freeing up of energy and creativity.

I accomplish this with clients via one-on-one workflow coaching that integrates ideas from modern "bottom-up" methodologies that acknowledge the importance of managing your focus, capturing all your commitments, and maintaining the ability to rapidly switch priorities in the face of modern work and life.

My services include one-on-one workflow coaching, and group presentations and seminars on personal productivity.


How this can help you:

  • Learn a simple system to easily handle everything entering your life, including email, voicemail, to-dos, reading, Post-Its, etc.
  • Capture all the important details of your work and personal life in an airtight system.
  • Use tools you already know to accomplish more of what's important to you, with less effort.
  • Release and focus your natural talents and creativity.
  • Feel more peace of mind about your responsibilities and commitments.
  • Learn to feel 100% comfortable with your work and life commitments, and how you spend your time.

"Like many Chief Executive Officers of robust companies, my work is complex, intense, demanding and difficult. Learning Matthew Cornell's incredibly smart program has allowed me, for the first time in years, to the manage the company from a far more elevated and organized vantage point. The training was so groundbreaking (I slept a full night for the first time in a decade) I hired Matt to coach our managers. I recommend his program to any individual or business without hesitation. If you want to feel in control and excited about your work: hire Matt."
