Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Purpose in life test

  The PIL test is a 20-item self-report attitudinal scale designed to measure the extent to which a respondent perceives a general sense of meaning and purpose in life or respectively suffers from an "existential vacuum". This test is the first and the most-studied questionnaire to measure perceived life purpose and meaning. It consists of 11 items which focus on the respondents' mood (e.g., item 1: I am usually completely bored, neutral, exuberant, enthusiastic), 3 items which address life goals (e.g., item 3: In life I have no goals or aims at all, neutral, very clear goals and aims), and 3 items which address meaning of life itself (e.g., item 4: My personal existence is utterly meaningless without purpose, neutral, very purposeful and meaningful).

• Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS)

  is divided into three-item six subscales, which correspond to the six types of motivation (i.e., intrinsic motivation, integrated, identified, introjected and external regulations, and motivation). Participants will be asked to indicate on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (does not correspond at all) to 7 (corresponds exactly) the extent to which the items represent the reasons they are presently involved in their work.

• Life and productivity test

  these are 30 Likert scale questionnaires, measured on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 meaning "strongly disagree", and 10 meaning "strongly agree". It consists of 5 items which focus on the respondents productivity, 3 items which focus on time management skills, 4 items which focus on emotions, 14 items which focus on engagement, and 4 items which focus on clarity of vision and purpose.
