The 60-Day Lifehack Bootcamp · Kicks off Sept 13

Your life outgrew your operating system. Rebuild it in 60 days.

You run the business, the income, and the household, and every decision routes through you. In 60 days, Bootcamp rebuilds your calendar, your communications, your boundaries, and your habits, with coaching that won't let you drift.

Talk with Freda

A full hour with Freda to find out if this is your move. We won't let you sign up unless we're confident you'll get 10x the value.

Dietmar Aust

"When I look at my results from this program versus dozens of others I've tried, there's no comparison. Before Bootcamp, I was working all the time. I'm now down to 4 hours a week, and I'm totally bored. That's a great thing, because I've systemized my business to run without me."

Dietmar Aust · Software Developer · Germany

Everything doesn't have to depend on you.

You're already the one who handles it. The business, the income, the logistics, the emotional weather of everyone around you. People call you capable like it's a compliment. Some weeks it feels more like a job description nobody asked you to sign.

Look at where the hours actually go. Your calendar gets shredded by other people's emergencies. Your team needs your input on work you already delegated. Every hour you claw back gets refilled before you can use it. Rest, when it happens, is closer to collapse.

You could try harder. You've been trying harder for years, and effort is the one thing you never withheld. The systems underneath your life are what gave out. They were built for a smaller job than the one you have now.

Bootcamp is 60 days of pulling those systems apart and rebuilding them, so the weight stops landing on you by default.

Effort isn't your problem. Your systems are.

"If I'm already doing all the productive things, why don't I have the life I want right now?"

It's the million-dollar question, and you've probably already guessed at the answers. Wake up at 4am like the CEOs do. Hire a celebrity coach. Have the discipline of Rocky, David Goggins, and Tony Robbins combined. Get a full-time housekeeper. Clone yourself.

You won't be wrong. But you won't be 100% right either, because you're living in the real world, with limited resources and limited time to do all of that.

Bootcamp works with the discipline you already have. We rebuild the systems underneath your week, so an ordinary amount of effort starts producing extraordinary weeks.

Over 2,057 people have done this rebuild. Most started exactly where you are.

"I was working 60 hours a week and still falling behind."

I was working 60 hours a week and still falling behind. My performance review said I had 3 to 6 months before being let go. Just eight weeks later, everything was different. I was thriving at work. Eight more weeks and I was offered a new role, with a $50K raise. Now I have non-negotiable time with my kids. I thought I'd get productivity tips. What I got was a new way of living.

Stephanie WirgesStephanie WirgesSenior Finance Manager, Mom of two · AZ, USA

"Bootcamp got me out of reactive mode, and into the life I actually wanted."

Before Bootcamp, I was constantly putting out fires. I didn't need another book. I needed someone who had built the system I was craving. Since then, I quit my job, built a 6-figure business, and I run my week like a CEO.

Jessica LackeyJessica LackeyJessica Lackey Consulting · NC, USA

It's time to rebuild yourself for a world that rewards leverage, not effort.

You could be right for Bootcamp if:

If that lands, keep reading.

What if you don't have to run faster?

You were made to build something that wins while you rest.

Pre-work + Week 1 · Your ideal calendar

Your days match your energy, without grinding you to dust.

You work in clean blocks, protect your deep work, and rest without guilt, because the week was designed instead of endured.

Would you like to redesign your week around your best hours?

"Bootcamp taught me how to put my health first, and how to keep my business functioning with less of 'me.'"Antonella S. · Family Law Specialist, Australia

Weeks 2–3 · The Life Map

Every decision becomes obvious.

One page holds your real priorities, from this morning out to the next 12 months. Every yes and no gets clean, fast, and aligned with where you're headed.

Want to know exactly what matters most today, this week, this quarter?

"It's become so clear where I need to spend my time. I'm making $5k more per month than I did before starting Bootcamp."Karen M. · Bootcamp graduate

Weeks 4–5 · The Action Platform

Everything lands in one place. Nothing chases you.

Every task, request, and idea gets captured on one dashboard you can trust. The mental load of remembering it all leaves your head for good.

Ready to see your whole life on one screen you actually trust?

"The program changed the way I think about, plan, and execute all the tasks in my business (and life!)."Cheryl B. · Small Business Owner

Weeks 6–7 · Communications Mastery

Your inbox stops running your life.

A communication policy that defends your time, cuts the meetings and pings, and takes you all the way to Inbox Zero.

What would a whole morning without a single ding feel like?

"The feeling of getting to Inbox Zero is indescribable. It was part of a big change in my life."Sarah Helm · Manager of Diversity and Inclusion

Week 8 · Systems Creation

You delegate like a leader, and it stays delegated.

Your dashboard does the heavy lifting. No chasing people, no babysitting tasks. Work you hand off comes back done.

What would you hand off tomorrow if you trusted it would come back done?

The whole point

Time for what actually matters, guilt-free.

Hobbies come back. Side projects come to life. Family time stops being whatever's left over and starts being the point.

When did your family last get the best of you, instead of what's left of you?

Went from a struggling "mompreneur" to exploding her business and moving her family to a Caribbean island.Jessa · Business & Marketing Coach

Week over week

Progress starts stacking, fast.

Every week builds on the last. Your systems compound, and goals that sat shelved for years start falling.

Which shelved goal would you take down first?

Opened the diabetes clinic she'd been putting off for 4 years, and is now seen as a thought leader in her field.Jennifer · Doctor

Woven through every week · AI + systems

AI and great systems do your shallow work.

While others scramble, you're thinking, building, and staying in your zone of genius. Your tools finally work for you instead of the other way around.

What would you do with ten hours a week back?

"The course is brilliant. It's the missing manual on productivity."Dietmar A. · Software Entrepreneur, made $12K in one week with the system

The systems are the boring part.
The Four Freedoms are the payoff.

Time tracking, communication policies, a delegation dashboard. None of it is glamorous, and we won't pretend otherwise. Demir opens every cohort with the same warning: excellence is mundane. You do the boring work because of what's waiting on the other side of it. Inside Bootcamp, we call that the Four Freedoms.

Freedom 01

Time freedom

The hours come back first. Pre-work alone is built to return a minimum of 10 hours a week, before the first call. Then your calendar starts matching your priorities instead of other people's emergencies, and your evenings stop belonging to your inbox.

"It's given me back my weekends, my evenings, and my sleep." · Rogier, Attorney at Law

Freedom 02

Financial freedom

Right now your income is capped at the hours you can personally absorb. When you stop being the bottleneck, that cap comes off. Stephanie went from three months before being let go to a $50K raise. Jessica left her job and is now the CEO of her own 6-figure business.

Demir says it on every kickoff call: level yourself up, then go get the cash and prizes.

Freedom 03

Career freedom

Work you choose, with people you choose. This one arrives on the other side of the first two, because when your time is yours and the income holds without heroics, nobody can force you into work you resent.

"The dread of going to work has gone away." · Robin, Physician / Surgeon

Freedom 04

Spiritual freedom

Nobody on their deathbed says "thank God I opened that third office." You'll talk about the people you were actually there for, and the life you built on purpose. That's what the systems protect: presence with your kids without half your brain in the inbox, and a life you're proud of when you zoom out.

"It really helped me heal my relationship with my work." · Tina, PhD Student

Demir and Carey Bentley toasting

Hey, it's Demir and Carey.

We're your resident Lifehack Method productivity pros. We live and breathe this stuff, but our mission isn't to get you 20% more productive. Our mission is to hold you accountable to stepping up to your greatest potential, so you can create the lifestyle you want. That's why we created the 60-Day Bootcamp.

If you do the work and implement exactly what's inside, there's no reason you can't be the person who "has it all."

But allow us to be blunt: Bootcamp isn't for everyone.

We turn away 1 in 3 applicants. Bootcamp only works when it's the right person at the right time, so we screen for it. If you're accepted, four layers of accountability are baked in:

Public declarationsYour goals, said out loud, to people who will ask about them.
An accountability buddyMatched to a compatible time zone, checking in daily.
A team you respectFellow Bootcampers who hold a high bar because they hold it for themselves.
1:1 coachingCoaches who raise the bar past where you'd set it yourself.

About the time commitment, since you're already at capacity: the ask is 3 to 5 hours a week for eight weeks. The pre-work is designed to hand you back a minimum of 10 hours a week before the first call. The program funds its own time, starting in week one.

What do successful Bootcampers have in common? They do the work. They show up.

The 8-week rebuild, week by week

Pre-work + Week 1

Find the hours

Before day one, you track where your time and energy actually go, with AI doing the heavy lifting on the analysis. Most people find at least 10 hours a week hiding in plain sight. You start the cohort already ahead.

Ten hours are hiding in your week right now. Want to see exactly where?

Finding hidden hours in a weekly time grid
Weeks 2–3

Radical clarity

You build your Life Map: one page that holds your real priorities, from this morning out to the next 12 months. The payoff is being able to answer "what's the most important thing right now?" without thinking, every day, for every part of your life.

What would change if you could name your most important thing today, this week, this quarter, without hesitating?

A one-page Life Map
Weeks 4–5

Nothing slips again

Everything flying at you gets captured in one place. What that buys is a specific feeling: safety. Nothing slips, and the 2am jolt about the thing you might have forgotten stops happening. If something doesn't get done, it's because you decided it shouldn't. Once the board is organized right, AI can help run it with you.

When was the last time you went to bed certain nothing was slipping?

An organized action platform dashboard
Weeks 6–7

Finally ahead of the inbox

A communication policy that cuts the volume down and puts you ahead of the inbox instead of underneath it. Inbox Zero happens this week, for every Bootcamper, including the one who walked in with 36,000 backlogged emails. Fewer meetings, fewer pings, whole mornings without a single interruption.

Can you remember the last time you opened an empty inbox? That feeling arrives this week.

An empty inbox on a calm desk
Week 8

Systems you can trust

Delegation that doesn't boomerang. You hand something off and it comes back done, without sixteen questions and without needing to be redone. SOPs your team can run when you're not in the building. This is the week the business stops needing you in every decision.

What would you hand off tomorrow if you trusted it would come back done?

Reliable systems passing along completed work

AI multiplies whatever you point it at.

If your week is organized, AI multiplies your output. If your week is chaos, AI multiplies the chaos. That's the reason Bootcamp puts fundamentals first, and it's also the reason this is not the pre-AI Bootcamp: nearly every step inside the program is now AI-assisted, from the time analysis in pre-work to running your Action Platform.

Clear thinking, clean priorities, and a calendar you control matter more in the age of AI, not less. Bootcamp builds that foundation in 60 days. And for this cohort, your included retake can become the January AI Bootcamp, so the acceleration is already on your calendar before you even start.

This is what happens when you stop running faster.

"I got my money's worth in Week 2"

"I was so skeptical of Bootcamp because I never believe what's being advertised to me. But I already got my money's worth within a week or 2 of the Bootcamp starting. When I first came to you, I was having weekly breakdowns because I was so overwhelmed. And while I still have a lot on my plate, I feel so much more in control of it. It's like night and day."

Gillian CastenGillian CastenCOO, Wine Distributor · Chicago, USA

"I would have paid twice as much for Bootcamp"

"I'm a typical creative person: not that well-organized, constantly procrastinating. I used to start a million things and never finish them. Bootcamp gave me the tools, techniques, and accountability I needed to build productive habits. I'm now a guy who follows through and gets stuff done. And I have a sense of order and calm in my life."

Jason GrantJason GrantUX Designer · CO, USA

Off the treadmill after 20 years

"I was working crazy hours, my health was deteriorating, and I was downright exhausted. Bootcamp taught me how to put my health first, and how to keep my business functioning with less of 'me.' I'm working strictly office hours, my health has improved, and I'm sleeping much better at night. I am actually enjoying running my business for the first time in a long time."

Antonella SandersonAntonella SandersonFamily Law Specialist · Australia

"Bootcamp won't let you offer any excuses"

"It helped me set better boundaries in a corporate culture that expects you to be available at all times. I was able to push back, start saying no to weekend work and 20-hour work days on business trips. The attention you get from Demir and Carey shows how much they really care about the people they work with."

Kathryn ReadKathryn ReadInternational Sales & Marketing Consultant · Austria

A new job, 30% less time on schoolwork, better grades

"I was always trying something: the apps, the spreadsheets, different coaching programs, even working 24-hour shifts to get enough time in the week. During Bootcamp I found a new job, cut 30% off the time I spent on schoolwork and got better grades. Sure, I still have bad days, but even in the messy weeks, I get the most important things done."

Emily HillEmily HillFreelance Virtual Assistant, Mom of 2 · TN, USA

Winning back 5 to 6 hours a week

"Before Bootcamp, I was often asking myself, 'Have I actually been productive today?' Since finishing, I've definitely become more productive and focused. I'm eliminating distractions and getting more deep work done. I've also become great friends with my accountability buddy; we still do deep work sessions together via Zoom."

Mike TurnerMike TurnerManaging Director, YouBecome · UK

So much cognitive load, gone

"Now I feel like I'm working fewer hours while still being productive, which means I have more time for family. I even carved out time to sit down with my wife and plan out the whole rest of the school calendar. It feels good to be proactive about it, rather than reactive. Before Bootcamp, that stuff would constantly be in the back of my head."

Jeff WeidmannJeff WeidmannAcupuncturist · NY, USA

"Demir really came through"

"If you had something to ask or solve, he came through with the right solution. I came out of the Bootcamp with the mindset that things can be easier and that you should not be afraid to ask others how to save time. There's not a single thing I can say was the most valuable to me, because the whole package was valuable to me."

A private kickoff & diagnostic call with Demir

Thirty minutes, before the cohort starts. He looks at how you're operating right now and maps where your biggest wins are, so you walk into day one already knowing what to fix first. That's a third private call with Demir, on top of the two every Bootcamper gets inside the program. Talk with Freda by Friday, Aug 21 and it's yours.

Demir Bentley
Bonus · First time ever

Your retake can become the AI Bootcamp. We have never offered this before.

Every September Bootcamper gets a full retake of the Lifehack Bootcamp within a year, at no cost. That part is a long-standing promise. Here's the part that's brand new: for this cohort, and for the first time ever, you can apply that retake to the 4-week AI Bootcamp in January instead.

It's the path we'd recommend: rebuild your operating system this fall, take the holidays actually off, then come back in January and accelerate everything you built with AI. Two programs' worth of transformation, one enrollment. September cohort only, and we don't know if we'll ever run it this way again.

Stop tinkering! Invest 8 weeks for a lifetime of leverage.

Your investment

$7,500 USD

Payment plans available.

The pre-work alone is built to hand you back 10 hours a week. Across the next year, that prices Bootcamp at about $15 for every returned hour, and the hours keep coming long after the 60 days end.

And it's covered by the Try it and Apply it guarantee: go through the entire experience, apply what we teach, and if you still don't get the transformation you're looking for, we give you back your entire investment. If you don't get the results you need, we don't deserve your money.

Talk with Freda

Fit calls close Friday, Aug 28 · Kickoff Sunday, Sept 13 · 30 spots

A small lever lifting a massive sphere

The first step is to schedule a conversation.

Freda KochollaFreda KochollaCustomer success lead

That conversation is a full hour with Freda, and people consistently tell us it was the most enjoyable part of deciding. She's warm, she listens more than she talks, and she has spent years helping Lifehackers find their right next step. Her job is routing people to the right place. Sometimes the right place is Bootcamp. Sometimes it's something smaller, or a later cohort, and she'll tell you that too.

You're sizing us up as much as we're sizing you up. Either side can say no, and you'll leave the call with a clear read on your next step regardless.

→A real conversation with someone whose job is fit, and who has nothing to gain by forcing one.
→You leave with clarity on your next step, whether that's Bootcamp or something else.
→Schedule your call by Friday, Aug 28. Kickoff is Sunday, Sept 13, and the call, your decision, and onboarding all need room to happen before it.
Talk with Freda

30 spots for the September cohort.

Demir and Carey fist-bumping

If you know Bootcamp is what you need, but you're wondering…

Do I have to commit on the call?

You'll be asked for a decision, and that's on purpose: 30 spots and a September 13 start don't leave room for a long maybe. What you won't get is pressure. It's a two-way fit check, either of us can say no, and if Bootcamp isn't the right fit, Freda will tell you straight and point you somewhere better.

When does the September cohort start, and why do fit calls close on August 28?

Kickoff is Sunday, September 13. Between your fit call, your decision, and onboarding (your roadmap, your Boost Mode coach, your accountability buddy, the pre-work that hands you back your first 10 hours), there's real work to do before day one. So the calendar closes Friday, August 28, and everyone who's in gets a full runway. Talk with Freda by Friday, August 21 and you qualify for the extra private call with Demir.

I'm not in the USA. How do I know the call times work with my schedule?

People have joined Bootcamp from all over the world, in every time zone. We offer plenty of call options so everyone gets live access to our Lifehack coaches at least once a week. Plus you'll be assigned an accountability partner with a compatible timezone. #nopersonleftbehind

Is this going to be a big anonymous group I feel lost in?

Absolutely not. We only accept 30 new people in every round, with some additional spots reserved for second-timers. These small groups mean everyone gets the personal attention they need. We'll know you by name, your goals, and your challenges. Between the 1:1 coaching, your Boost Mode coach, group calls, and the community, there's no way to get lost in the crowd.

I'm already in Tribe. What's the difference?

Bootcamp is built to break through the plateaus Tribe can't touch. As a Tribe member you're already 80 steps ahead of most people. But you might be the type of Lifehacker who wants to be 100 steps ahead. Tribe is like a state-of-the-art gym that gets you to the 80-yard line. Bootcamp is the personal trainer and nutritionist who take you the final 20 yards for the touchdown, with intensive coaching plus 4 layers of radical accountability.

How does the retake work?

Every September Bootcamper can retake the full Bootcamp within a year at no cost. For this cohort only, you can apply that retake to the AI Bootcamp in January instead: rebuild your foundations this fall, take the holidays off, then accelerate everything with AI. We're running this as an experiment for September, so we can't promise it for future cohorts.

When are the live calls, and what if I can't make them?

Group calls run Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 to 1pm ET, and they're optional. Every session is recorded and the replay is available the same day, so nothing is lost if you can't be there. If you can attend even one live call a week, that's plenty; plenty of Bootcampers have done most of the program on replays plus their daily check-ins.

It sounds like a lot of work. Will I really be able to do this?

A small investment of 3 to 5 hours per week is all it takes for a massive ROI. That breaks down to one live coaching call per week, daily 10-minute accountability check-ins (Mon to Fri), and about 2 hours for bite-sized videos and implementation. You don't have to do it "perfectly," you just have to do it.

What if I don't get results after the 8 weeks?

Our "Try it and Apply it" guarantee has you covered. If you go through the entire experience, apply what we teach, and still don't get the transformation you're looking for, we'll give you back your entire investment.

Will I get immediate access to all of the content once I've joined?

Absolutely. Unlike many programs, we don't drip-feed content, because we want you to get an ROI right off the bat. You'll have plenty of time to revisit material whenever you want to focus on a particular section.

This is what we see for you, Lifehacker

On November 8th, you'll celebrate one of your biggest champagne moments: the 60-Day graduation call with us. You'll have gone from a fairly productive Lifehacker to a hyper productive one. You'll have installed new habits that keep you focused on the needle-moving tasks. You'll have grown the stamina to course-correct and keep going when life happens.

You'll have removed the cognitive load and panic that keeps you awake wondering if you sent that urgent email. You'll have clarity on your WHY, and systems in place to make sure you're doing high-ROI, meaningful work that energizes you. And nothing that doesn't.

And for those of you also planning to come to the Lifehack Conference: we'll celebrate your graduation in person with you there!
