I’m doing productivity coaching with Effective Altruists to better succeed at your goals and hopefully improve the world. I can work with you to align your motivation, environment, and habits to accomplish tasks more reliably and quickly.
“Lynette's coaching clearly decreased the time I spent procrastinating and redirected that time towards my actual priorities.” — Igor Kurganov
If you’re having a tough time making progress on a goal, feeling guilty about procrastinating, or generally wanting to be more productive, you can schedule a call to talk about it at lynettebye.com/schedule-call. You can see more details about the coaching at www.lynettebye.com, including impact case studies from previous coachees. A generous sliding scale is available for EAs who are a good fit but can’t comfortably afford coaching right now.
I'm hearing of this for the first time now, and actually spent quite a bit of time throughout the last few months thinking about this exact concept and how it seems to be missing in the EA community, and whether this could be something I could possibly work on myself. The problem being that coaching of any kind really isn't my comparative advantage, and thus I'd probably be the wrong person to do it.
I find it rather difficult to decide whether or not scheduling a (series of) call(s) would make sense for me. In your testimonials, many people speak of productivity increases in concrete numbers, such as +15%. Are these their personal judgments, or did you provide a certain framework to measure productivity?
Can you elaborate a bit more on what kind of people would profit most from working with you?
Also +1 on richard_ngo's question about the comparison to CFAR.
People generally profit most from working with me if they have a clear area(s) that they know could be improved in order to more effectively accomplish their goals, but haven't yet successfully fixed it. I generally think the returns are good if improving could save you a couple hours a week that then is used more impactfully.
When discussing outcomes, I encourage my clients to try estimating what the concrete impact has been, so I can get a sense of what each person means rather than vague ideas such as "much more productive". So most of them are estimates based on their personal judgments.
