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.

Primary Outcome Measures: 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)., Pre - Event, 1 week Post - Event, 1 Month Post - Event|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., Pre - Event, 1 week Post - Event, 1 Month Post - Event|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., Pre - Event, 1 week Post - Event, 1 Month Post - Event
Secondary Outcome Measures: PERMA Profiler, The scale measures five aspects of well-being defined by Martin Seligman, PERMA - positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment, as well as negative emotion and health., Pre - Event, 1 week Post - Event, 1 Month Post - Event|Rosenberg's Self esteem scale, A 10-item scale that measures global self-worth by measuring both positive and negative feelings about the self. The scale is believed to be uni-dimensional. All items are answered using a 4-point Likert scale format ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree., Pre - Event, 1 week Post - Event, 1 Month Post - Event
Other Outcome Measures: Generalize Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), a self report-based survey that assesses generalized anxiety disorder and severity on a 7-item scale. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 are taken as the cut-off points for mild, moderate and severe anxiety, respectively., Pre - Event, 1 week Post - Event, 1 Month Post - Event|Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), measures global perceived stress via self-report on a ten item scale. Scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. Total scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Total scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Total scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress., Pre - Event, 1 week Post - Event, 1 Month Post - Event
