We had a fantastic training series August 29th – September 21st. This was an interactive experience featuring step-by-step instructions for building your very own Command Central, completely eliminating the “piles” in your life, and never feeling overwhelmed again. It was uniquely created for members of our STEP Mastery program, but also included friends, family, and all of our community members. Thanks to everyone who participated!
Where Can I Get STEP LIVE Access?
Though STEP LIVE has ended, we opened access by joining STEP Mastery through Cyber Monday, November 27th at 11:59pm. After this sale, STEP LIVE won’t be available automatically inside the STEP Mastery program.
Want to find out more about what we did in STEP LIVE? Read on…
Over the past eight years, we have been teaching thousands of people around the globe to build their Command Centrals–seamless systems designed to handle every paper, idea, project, task, email, text, and detail of life.
Our full program is called STEP (Steps to Everyday Productivity), and here are just a few of the amazing before and after photos:
Fun, right?
So, in an effort to better serve our community, discover new ideas to power-charge the program, and spread the word about STEP, we did a live training series over the course of four weeks, from August 29th through September 23rd. (Get the kids back into school, and get organized!)
Whether you are a member of our STEP community looking for extra support–or a new friend who is curious to see what a Command Central can do for your everyday productivity, this personalized overview of our eight-module program–with specific dates, times, and accountability is for you. (Because if you’re looking for inspiration to get you moving, what is more fun than getting organized with friends?)
How does it work?
Our Steps to Everyday Productivity program features eight modules (i.e., “the path out of the drowning”):
We did a deep dive into two modules a week (one on Tuesday and one on Thursday) and then a RECAP of that week’s modules each Saturday.
Here are a few more details:
- Each call lasted between 45 minutes and one hour
- Members of STEP Mastery joined us on the Zoom call, and visitors watched through Facebook Live on the LearnDoBecome Facebook page.
- We did not be broadcast all of the content of the STEP program, so if you want all of the worksheets, audios, videos, step-by-step instructions, etc., you’ll want to become a paid member, but we did explain the general concepts, answered questions submitted by our STEP Mastery members, and provided behind-the-scenes details from our own Command Centrals (so you could feel the excitement, see the vision, and pick up lots of helpful tips along the way!).
- Another key purpose for the calls was to find out where our community members are getting “stuck.” (We are now creating solutions inside the program to make the process as simple and streamlined as possible!)
- The recordings for the calls are now posted inside the STEP Mastery membership area, where our members will have lifetime access. (The Facebook Live versions only stayed up on our public page for a limited time…)
- If you wanted to do all the assignments inside your program along the way, you absolutely could, but there was NO PRESSURE. We all have unique circumstances, and making some sort of progress is way more important than rushing through and going crazy. This was totally a bonus. Breathe deeply!

Do I need to be a STEP Mastery member?
Well, yes and no. It just depends on what you want to get out of the experience.
The ideal way to go through STEP LIVE was as a Mastery member. That’s because you had access to all the worksheets, videos, audios, Facebook discussion, Q&A calls, STEP Library, and more. Mastery is awesome. (If you haven’t joined, come to our live webinar and find out about it! You’ll love it. We have lots of classes coming up.)
Then the full “member-of-STEP-Mastery” process would look something like this:
Mastery Members Got:
- Access to the live Zoom Classes and the ability to chat live with us during the call.
- Full, lifetime access to every resource discussed during the class.
- The ability to submit questions and suggestions beforehand to shape the discussion.
- Lifetime access to the recordings of STEP LIVE.
- Access to follow-up Facebook group discussions we created inside our existing Mastery Facebook group after each class as a place to report back on homework assignments and get support from fellow community members.
- Awesome ongoing coaching to make the most of the Mastery Resources.
Friends Who Are Just Stopping By Got:
- Full access to the STEP LIVE classes via Facebook Live during the actual calls (recordings were taken down shortly after each class)
- Fun tips, ideas, and mindset shifts that were discussed as we went through each module.
- The ability to ask questions about the program, receive links to our public resources, and participate in an amazing high-level training absolutely free!
- This is kind of like sitting in on a college class… You didn’t have the textbook, access to the lab, or support from the professors, but you got a really good feel for what is being taught, and you’ll know if you’ll officially want to sign up for the class yourself.
Questions? Send them to [email protected], and our team will get right back with you.
Thanks so much!!!

What People Are Saying
Thank you so much for offering STEP Live. It has provided me with the perfect opportunity to update what I currently had working in my system, and actually finish the Modules this time. (I think I got hung up in Module 6 before.) So far, in STEP Live, I have:
– set aside time on my calendar this month to focus on setting up my STEP system
– deleted 17,000 emails in a junk email account that my husband and I share
– cleared my cluttered desk
– ordered the Freedom Filer labels
– updated my Routines & Responsibilities to better fit my life with the new school schedule
And I’m currently working through Module 4. It feels so good! I’m feeling a lot more hopeful about actually getting my “STEP car” up and running. Thank you for putting all the time and effort into providing this for us! –Kristen A.
Is anybody else loving STEP LIVE? I am so grateful that April and the whole LDB team are doing these. Even though I had already gone through all the modules previously, this is exactly what I needed to reinforce the STEP System, because it gave me a reason to go back through the modules and really think about them so that I am ready for the live training.
I’m 34 years old with two kids, and for the first time in my adult life I actually feel like I am succeeding at this whole adulting thing. I’m no longer feeling overwhelmed by all of the papers that come into my life and I feel hopeful that I am able to tackle any project that comes my way. I’ve always struggled with having all these great ideas or things that I wanted to do, but never any way to get them all done. –Rochele P.
If I can change, anyone can change. Honestly, I’ve NEVER been organized… I’ve always lived in piles, since I was a kid… piles in my room, in the car, all over the house… it was chaos, and I was kind of fine with it… I tried to keep my room clean, but it never lasted more than a few days… when I got married and had kids, all the stuff multiplied… I still did the best I could but there were still piles everywhere, and it drove my “everything has a place” husband NUTS… he kept telling me “You need a routine… put things back when you’re done…” but I just didn’t know how! Something would always lead to doing something else, and nothing would get done… Enter LDB… 10 minutes is doable… by the time I got through Module 2, I was hooked and pushed my way through Module 7 in two weeks… Looking at 8 modules as a whole was hard… but taking that next step is what’s important… take that 10 minutes. then find another 10 minutes. It’s kind of like.. as you take those 10 min steps, your faith grows, and as your faith (in the program and yourself) grows, there’s HOPE! It’s still not perfect, but I have hope… I’m telling all my friends who I know are overwhelmed all about it…–Jenna G.
I signed up I itally for the 5 life changing habits. And while I would love to do that I actually would love to put productivity first so if you can change that for me that would be great please.
I also want to sign up for the mastery program you described on your FB LIVE last wk.
Also I signed up for the 10 o’clock webinar tomorrow morning and I forgot that tomorrow is a clips today and really want to watch the kids so would you be recording this video so I can watch it afterwards ?
I also want to sign up for the Mastery Program. Didn’t see where to do that.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Julia! Hope that your day was great! I forwarded your comment to our team so they can make sure you get information on future classes and the Mastery program. So excited to have you here with us!
do I need Zoom app to access the free training?
Great question! You can watch them on Facebook Live for a limited time, and the replays will be up in Mastery as unlisted YouTube videos. So excited for you to attend!
I am incredibly excited that you are giving the opportunity to watch these STEP LIVE videos and benefit from your fantastic teaching. Thank you so much, Eric and April.
I’m excited about the class however, the hours are always inconvenient with the type of work that I do. It would be great if this class could be an on Demand type of class, especially if it is really free.
Yes! Absolutely! We have recordings you can watch on demand. STEP LIVE (each class) will be on FB for about 48 hours. Our STEP Mastery members have lifetime access to the recordings, but we want to be as helpful as we can to the whole community!
This is a lot of info to consume, but I’m sure very helpful. I missed the first webinar I signed up to attend. I want to try this scheduled August 29 – Sept. 23. In not sure what to do to try and join you.
So glad to have you with us, Andrea! We’re going to break it down into bite-sized pieces, and if you’re already receiving emails from us, we’ll email you when the live classes are ready to start. 🙂 If you’d like to attend a live webinar again “How to Finally Stop Drowning in Piles,” you can sign up here: https://learndobecome.com/step
So glad the recordings will be available for 48hours via facebook as I am in New Zealand and 4am/5am are way too early for me to get up and be functional while watching them and the later one is 1pm while I am working. Can’t wait to get started 🙂
Heather! Glad to have you with us- enjoy the classes- and we’d love your feedback!
I’m not on Facebook (and in order to not add clutter to my life, don’t want to be). Is that the only way this free seminar will be accessible?
Mandi- We offer links to view (and life time recordings) to our STEP Mastery group, but we are opening this up to our STEP Community for free through Facebook. Perhaps you could consider opening a Facebook account simply and only for viewing these trainings- and then after this closes (September 23) you could delete your Facebook account. Just an idea- we’d love to have you join us!
What does this cost?
I would LOVE to do this but I have no money.
Shirley, this is FREE. 🙂 Glad you would ask- you can view the recordings from our Facebook page for 48 hours. We’ll send you a recap and productivity tip via email. Enjoy!
Shirley, STEP LIVE Is free! Enjoy the classes for 48 hours after they are live, and you can check the schedule for upcoming dates and times!
Do we need to join your facebook group to see the replays? I think I may have conflicts for those times. Thank you for this offer. It is very generous of you.
Hi Laura! You just need to go to our LearnDoBecome Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LearnDoBecome/ is not a closed group)- and the recordings will be up for 48 hours!
Laura, We will have the replays on our Facebook page for 48 hours after the class. If you are a member of our STEP Mastery group you will have all access about a day after the class. 🙂 Excited to have you here!
Hi April and Eric,
Thanks so much for these special one on ones. Gary and I are slowly implementing changes, as is my teenager. I would love to attend step live on Saturday because during the week is difficult. We are part of the mastery program where do we go to view the class if we miss it or want to review?
Thank you again and have a spectacular day!
Sincerely,
Cinzia
Cinzia, Thanks for your message, so glad you are here! You can check inside your membership area under STEP Mastery Resources for links to live classes or for recordings after. Email us [email protected] anytime you have a question. 🙂 Enjoy!
Hi April,
I LOVE the STEP program! I checked out David Allen’s Getting Things Done about 5 years ago, and never quite got through it with three kids, a husband working out of town during the week, and working myself. Then I found STEP and began about 6 months ago, became a mastery member, and got super organized and was on my way. I did not keep it up we’ll, however, and got frustrated with myself, always knowing I would jump back on board. But when? It felt overwhelming to “begin” again. This video series feels like the perfect place. I always loved the program, and, in fact, the one way I thought it might be improved, was to have a video class component. I always get so much out of your videos. Thank you so much for continuing to grow and care for your Mastery members!!!
Thanks Magi- thanks for your kind words and we are glad you are here. YES – these next weeks will be great to jump back in, and no worries if you miss something life, as a STEP Mastery member you have all the resources recorded in your program as they happen. 🙂
Price for Help?? How does it work??
I have just sent you an email with more details Danna!
I’ve been loving the Step Live steps – I can’t access the one from Thursday – I tried yesterday and today. Can you send me a link? I don’t want to miss one! Thanks!
Katie
My mom got me a Franklin Covey Planner when I was about 30. Changed. My. Life. I will always hold that system dear. Then I went digital for the calendar and now use Remember The Milk for my gtd app. I LOVE that app! So simple and streamline and highly functional and versital. But I also really do miss using my Covey planner. That thing never left my side for so many years. Anyway, I also love Julie Morgenstein as she was the next organizer I plugged into. Then it was Fly Lady! We have so much in common in this way! Anyway, what I started out wanting to say is that even with all those things in place, there were still gaps, like how to manage projects, and all the paper piles!! So this system brings in all together, calendar, to do lists, goals, aspirations, projects, cleaning the house, AND how to manage those piles of paper and incoming information etc… I LOVE it!! Thank you so much for designing this machine!!
Soul sisters!!! Super excited for you! It’s so fun to have a system that works seamlessly–and it’s even better to build the system on top of the good things you’ve already learned. Thanks so much for your kind words, Megan!
I have had a hard time getting in to see the Modules. You sent me a link to Module 7 and I was able to watch it. I should be able to see 5 and 6 through today and I am getting a message that the page isn’t available. That is what happened and so I wasn’t able to see any except for 1, How To Get Rid of My Piles, which you sent a detailed e-mail with the transcript, power point and the UTube video. 2-6 I am got the same message. This is 09/20 and 5 and 6 should be up till midnight and I couldn’t get in yesterday or today any of the times that I tried to watch them. Sorry to be a pain, but what I was able to see was great, and would like to have seen them all.
Renee,
We will do our best to take care of you! Please know we plan to post these on our website for one day again next week! http://www.facebook.com/learndobecome Have a great weekend!
Will you ever post the videos again? I planned to follow the entire series last fall, but my schedule was hectic and I was only able to watch the first two modules. I’m starting to feel overwhelmed again and could use some direction to get organized.
Patrice,
I’m sorry the videos are only available in our STEP Mastery program. You can visit http://www.learndobecome.com/stepprogram for more information or to watch our free webinar!
