Busy is human. Good Busy is a skill: deciding what's a must-do and what's not. Up to 60% of work isn’t: unnecessary meetings, emails, and more bad busy work. The Good Busy Reset is a self-paced program to free up that time for work you're proud of and what (and who) you love after work.

Rated 9.6/10 by leaders from JPMorganChase, Roche, and more

you've tried the usual advice...

Productivity apps

You downloaded the app. Now on top of everything, you manage the app. And it can add 1 hour of work a day. Apps don’t do the work. They just help keep track of it.

AI

Forbes: 77% of employees say AI increased their workload. AI speeds up what you give it. Give it bad busy work and you do more of it, just faster.

One-size-fits-all systems

Complicated systems feel promising until you’re 3 weeks in and it’s already falling apart. They’re built around someone else’s priorities and lifestyle.

I asked ChatGPT if AI can help with work-life balance. It said no.

If tech was the answer, we would have solved this by now. AI doesn't take decisions: it can't hold your boundaries. That’s THE skill to master. That’s Good Busy.

Kate Sotsenko

Founder TheGoodBusy.com, Productivity for Well-being & Leadership Coach
Hi, I’m Kate!

The Good Busy Reset is a program to build your work-life balance step-by-step. Just how I did it.

It's based on my 10-year training to become a tennis pro, 15 years of corporate experience (including my burnout with episodes of vision loss), and my experiments learning how to be Good Busy — from 250+ books, 2,000+ TED Talks, 50+ courses, therapy, coaching — put into an approach you can master and make your own. Because balance is contextual, personal, and seasonal.

Over 100 leaders from companies like Roche, Bosch, Wella, Tetra Pak, Hyatt, and more have joined the program.

Today, I guest lecture at Singapore University of Social Sciences. 50,000+ leaders follow my advice on LinkedIn and 23,000+ read The Good Busy Newsletter every Monday.

FAQ

01
Who is this program for and not for?

This is for mid-senior corporate professionals in office-based roles who feel the OOO cycle — overwhelmed, overcommitted, overworked — and want better quality time at and after work for work-life balance. Everyone expects from you more and faster, but you simply can’t (and you’ll learn that it’s not necessary.)

It’s not for freelancers, field workers, entry-level professionals, C-suite executives, or professionals working companies with fewer than 50 employees globally. It’s also not for you if you prefer a 100% video course, tech tools, or AI solution.

02
How does each option work?

It’s a self-paced program to build your work-life balance step-by-step with my either just email or 1:1 coaching support. Both options include interactive content, 5 exercises, mini courses & playbooks, and my support and accountability partnership. You need about 5 hours to complete it all.

Reset with email support only (€275) As soon as you join, you get an email with access to the program. I’ll check in via email twice (3 & 6 weeks after you join) to help you stay on track and you can email me anytime. Total 5 hours.

Reset with email + 1:1 coaching (€1,200) As soon as you join, you get an email with access to the program and the link to book your 3 x 60min private coaching sessions with me. You can also reach out via email for support or accountability anytime. Total 5 hours + 3 hours of coaching.

03
How is this different — and why will it work when others didn’t?

Most productivity programs pressure you to do more and faster. This one teaches you the opposite. Because productivity is NOT doing more but achieving results. And not everything on your to-do list creates quality impact. That’s why it’s a game of decisions: what gets done, what can wait, and what shouldn’t be done at all.

It’s not another video course selling you a one-size-fits-all system, productivity apps you don’t need, a generic 9-5 “work-life balance” template that doesn’t fit your reality, and leaves you hanging alone. It’s a step-by-step program to build your personal productivity system for better quality time at and after work — you get the theory, audio notes, video demos, practical exercises, and real-life examples. And no matter which option you choose, you get both a structured online program and my coaching support.

Unlike apps or AI tools that optimize what you give them — give them bad busy work and you get more of it, just faster — this program teaches you how to remove work that shouldn’t exist first. Otherwise, you’re doing faster work that shouldn’t be done at all, and because of it, you get more of the same work.

Tech is not the answer to your work-life balance. If it was, the burnout problem would be solved by now. That’s why when I asked ChatGPT what can help, the answer was clear: only better decisions and boundaries. That’s what Good Busy skill is about. That’s what you learn here.

04
How much time do I need?

The full online content takes 5 hours. You’ll find a time breakdown for each chapter inside the program to help you plan and work through the program without adding more overwhelm. 

  • Option 1: Reset with email support only | 5 hours total
  • Option 2: Reset with email + 1:1 coaching | 5 hours + 3 x 60min private coaching sessions

Applying and experimenting with what you learn happens during your real workday — no extra time needed. And once you master Good Busy, it’s a skill for life. This investment today can free up 8+ hours a week — that’s 32+ hours a month. I’ll let you calculate how much time that is in a year…

 

05
What if I don’t get results — can I get a refund?

Your commitment shapes your results. If you complete the program and exercises, experiment with what you learn, and reach out for support — but still don’t see any progress by day 30 — I’ll issue a full refund. No questions asked.

06
Can I expense this to my company?

Yes. You’ll receive an invoice automatically after payment. If you need a company invoice upfront, email me at kate@thegoodbusy.com. 

You can also bring The Good Busy Reset to your team — as a cohort with flexible scheduling (5 sessions every 2 weeks for example), self-paced option, self-paced in your LMS (SCORM available), or custom workshop. Email me to explore options.

 

07
Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Email me at kate@thegoodbusy.com and we’ll work out a solution that fits your situation. Finances shouldn’t be the reason you don’t have time for work you’re proud of and what (and who) you love after work.

08
I’m in! What happens next?

Click “I’m ready to reset my balance”. After you join, you’ll receive an email with access to the program. If you choose Option 2 with coaching support, you also get the link to book their 1:1 sessions straight away.

Questions before you join? Email me at kate@thegoodbusy.com. I’d love to help.

Let’s master Good Busy and reset your work-life balance for good.
