Feeling crushed by paper deadlines, grants and teaching prep?
This Simple System Flips Your Switch: Write, Publish, And finish without the overwhelm
You don't need another planner. You need a proven system to get crystal clear on what matters, lock into deep focus, and build bulletproof routines that run even when your willpower is just not there.
90 Days. Zero Risk. Total Confidence.
Use everything. Set bold goals, lock in focus, rebuild your daily rhythm. If after 90 days, you're not waking up clearer, working faster, and finishing what you start, I'll gladly give you every cent back. No forms. No excuses. No hard feelings. And you keep the course.
New Here?
The three-part PhD Power Trio Framework helps you finish your papers, courseworks and grant applications easier, always ahead of deadlines, and in higher quality. Here's how:
1) Set Goals that pull you like gravity
Imagine waking up and just knowing what to do. And then actually doing it! Most goal-setting advice is wishful thinking. In this course, you'll learn how to set crystal-clear, results-driven goals—and actually follow through. You’ll uncover where your time is really going, break the “busy but stuck” cycle, and finally start hitting targets that matter. No fluff. Just wins.
2) Unlock Deep Focus On Command
Distraction is the new default. Focus is now a superpower. In this module, you'll install a science-backed system to enter flow state fast — even if your schedule is chaos. You'll think clearer, work faster, and finish deep work without burning out. This is how unstoppable scholars move.
3) Build Unbreakable Habits That Work For you when nothing else does
Forget motivation. Habits win the game. You'll learn how to create automatic routines that keep you moving — on good days, bad days, and everything in between. No more panic before deadlines. No more yo-yo productivity. Just smooth, repeatable progress.

Said About The Courses:
5/5! A disclaimer: I didn't just participate in the training but also bought it (the live version) for one of my professional development seminars.
Energizing presentation and most importantly in a short time goes beyond just “how to focus”, into delivering critical lessons on how to start taking all this advice and putting it into action.
If you’re looking to add something real-world useful to your workplace trainings, I warmly recommend hiring Simo!
Antti Niittyviita // CEO
I've watched part of this three times now. The first time I was going to just watch while doing other things - utterly failing at focus. The second time I took notes and lost them. The third time, I finished in one run and kept notes and screenshots.
The idea of walking without headphones and smartphone is a great one, and the numerous health benefits from it are a great thing for focus, balance, and flow.
The music tips Simo gives are going to be part of my experimentation in the coming weeks. The example of sushi, dessert, and then a hamburger is the opposite of my world, since I'll have a hamburger, then dessert, and leave the sushi. But the capacity limits play well into the ability of his behaviour equation. And finally, the dot is a great idea, as is the daylight. I have started opening my home office windowshade all the way when I start my day, and I think it does make a difference. n=1 and all, but if it feels like it's helping, it probably is.
If you feel tedium in your life, or a lack of focus, or a desire to optimize your time (even compressing your work in the process), I'd recommend this course as an excellent, digestible, and manageable first step. You don't have to watch it three times, but maybe come back to it later for a refresher.
Robert Novak // IT Professional
A very informative and thought-provoking session.
Instead of going for the questionable approach of telling you what to do to succeed in everything focus-related and become the "best version of yourself", Simo gives you concrete ideas to try out and offers perspectives on why you should care.
Thanks to Simo's delivery and the way the info is packaged, the session has a good flow and feels personal. It keeps on being engaging even if the topics and sources discussed are already familiar to you.
Give this one a try!

Principles
Listen. I know your schedule is already packed and your brain juggling a dozen priorities. That's why this system is built to be the opposite of overwhelming.
Let's make this simple, fast, and worth every second you give it.
Start Here... Or Keep Drowning in Chaos
Before you optimize focus or stack habits like a pro, you need this foundational system that separates thriving academics from the burnt-out zombies. That's precisely what Course I, Three Steps to Success, does almost automatically for you.
Most productivity advice feels like throwing glitter on a dumpster fire. You don't need more "top 10 tips".
You need to rewire how you think about your work. Course #1 does exactly that:
- How to turn your academic life into a series of bold, low-risk experiments (instead of emotional rollercoasters).
- Why "understanding time" will immediately unlock control over your week, your stress—and your future.
- The no-BS truth about magnetic goal-setting that leads to progress, not perfectionism and paralysis.
Most never learn this. They grind. They hustle. They may even win, short term. And then they drown. You? You’ll build a system that works for you.
Welcome to the beginning of clarity. Welcome to control. You'll never look at your work the same way again.
Then, Double Your Output Without Working More Hours
Unlock the #1 meta-skill every top researcher secretly masters... and why most PhDs never even learn it. You sit down to write…but you check your phone. You try to read...but your mind drifts to email, lunch, everything. That’s not a willpower issue. It's a personal systems failure. And it's killing your output, your confidence, and your academic future. In Course II, Five Factors of Focus, we fix that—permanently.
You’ll discover:
- The 5 forces of sustained attention; and how to score quick wins in each
- Why JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) is your new secret weapon
- The "focus radar" that tracks real progress—and crushes self-delusion
It's really not about grinding harder. It’s about multiplying your effectiveness, every single day. You already know what to do.
This course finally lets you do it.
Finally, Build Habits That Print Results on Autopilot
The academic game is won by those who execute daily without burning out. Here's how.
You don’t rise to the level of your motivation. You fall to the level of your systems. This course is where everything clicks into place. You'll go from feeling "scattered and stuck" to "dialed-in and dangerous."
Why? Because in Course III, The Habit Engine, you'll discover how to:
- Engineer unstoppable academic routines built for real life, not fantasy
- Use the 7-step protocol to design habits that stick
- Replace toxic behaviors (doomscrolling, procrastination) with high-leverage actions
Sustainable, high-level academics operate. Not in one-off sprints, but using systems that run themselves, turning setbacks into data and successes into jet fuel.
Stop trying to "be more disciplined." We know it doesn't work. Instead, be more scientific. And your future self will thank you.

Meet Your Instructor: Simo Hosio
Award-winning professor, research leader, and productivity nerd: First Finnish PhD under Microsoft Research Cambridge; Published 160+ peer-reviewed articles; Leads a funded research group in digital health & human-computer interaction
But here’s what really matters: For the past decade, I’ve been obsessed with one question: How can we work better, not harder, in academia?
The PhD Power Trio is everything I've learned—distilled into a proven system for focus, habits, and high-impact work. Built by a researcher, for researchers.
But Wait... What If This Doesn't Work For Me?
You’re smart. You've seen productivity advice before. So let's address the voice in your head before it talks you out of this:
1. "I've tried so many systems. Why would this be different?"
Because this one was built for PhDs, by someone who actually knows the academic grind.
This isn’t vague advice from a productivity influencer. It’s a battle-tested, researcher-built framework rooted in experimentation, systems thinking, and science.
No fluff. Just results.
2. "I don’t have time for another course."
Perfect. Neither do I.
That's why this course is deliberately lean. You'll get focused lessons, no filler, with tools you can use immediately.
Some watch a lesson during lunch and apply it the same day. This isn't about more to do but more about finally doing the right things.
3. "What if I fall off again?"
Well. You probably will.
So what?
This course is designed for real life: imperfect schedules, off weeks, and setbacks. You'll learn how to bounce back without guilt, and how to keep momentum even when you're not feeling motivated.
4. "What if it still doesn’t help?"
Then you get your money back. No questions. No weird forms
We part as friends and you still keep the course.
So honestly? You’ve got nothing to lose.
Is This for You?
Let's make it super clear.
This system is built for those who:
- Want to do great work without sacrificing their health or sanity
- Feel like they should be productive... but struggle to focus
- Have a pile of goals but no system to reach them
- Are tired of wasting hours but getting nowhere
- Procrastinate, then panic, then repeat
If that's you?
You're in the right place.
You don't need more pressure. You need a better system.
Stop Guessing. Start Doing.
Join the Edge Academia tribe now to build clarity, focus, and momentum, all without burning out.

Because this system isn't about one-size-fits-all formulas.
