OUR STORY: NEED FOR CHANGE
My dreams...and how it all began
November 2013
I, Valdur Rosenvald, am walking in the gentle rain with thirty other soldiers along the long perimeter, all of us wearing heavy backpacks. In six months my military service in the Viru Infantry Battalion will end.
I dream of getting married, even though I don’t have a girlfriend yet. But for some reason I’ve called one girl, Johanna, several times more during my time in the army than my other friends.
I move forward in line and repeat my main goals in my head: to create my own photography business, build a home and successfully complete a degree in psychology at the University of Tartu. I believe that all this will help me to be a good husband to my future wife. This is my plan for my dream life.
But will I succeed?
I never would have expected...
Two years later I’m sitting in my friend’s apartment opposite the Olümpia Hotel in Tallinn. The army is over, I’m a free man.
I started my own wedding photography business, photographed 24 weddings in the first year and made more money than in the previous six years combined. I won a succession of scholarships for excellent results in my psychology studies, and the first steps to building my own home were taken.
It’s late at night, I step into the hallway and dial Johanna’s phone number. Because she’s no longer just a friend, she’s now my girlfriend.
My goals have been met or are well on their way to being met. I have all the reason to be genuinely happy.

My goals have been met or are well on their way to being met. I have all the reason to be genuinely happy.
But I’m not happy. I’m on the verge of burnout.
During this phone call I realise a terrible reality. The only thing I can talk to my dear girlfriend about is how busy I am and how tired I am. I’m not really emotionally present for her.
I’ve been working frantically to achieve my goals but I haven’t taken a break. I haven’t slept properly and I haven’t taken care of my body and mind. I’m completely exhausted.
Lofty goals and motivation isn’t enough.
I have lived in such a way that the most important things have taken a back seat.

OUR STORY: THE CREATION OF THE TEAM
Produktiivsusklubi...from personal experience to business
October 2, 2017
Eight friends and I are sitting at a long table in a hipster café, but we haven’t come together just to talk. Turns out I wasn’t the only one who felt that being in a hurry could mean missing the most important things in life. To make sure that doesn’t happen, we have a shared desire to get better at time management.
We will start meeting regularly to go through productivity topics together. Prioritising, delegating, saying no, focusing, managing information and creating habits. Our goal is not to talk about these topics, but to make practical changes that will make our lives better.
It worked. Applying the principles of productivity has helped me to:
– start one of Estonia’s most successful wedding photography businesses,
– start and grow as the CEO of Produktiivsusklubi,
– graduate cum laude in psychology from the University of Tartu and
– build my dream home without a loan.
What’s most important – to be present for Johanna and our two children and to maintain my mental and physical health.
No, not everything went perfectly. We have had to freeze salaries because there is no money. Johanna cried in the evenings because life with babies was so exhausting. A client chose another photographer because “their portfolio is just so much better.”
But we saw how the conscious application of productivity principles changed our lives. Together with Arno Lehtsaar and Jakob Gill we realised that it was not right to keep this experience as a closed club for a narrow circle.
We decided to start a company with a mission to help people truly become more productive.
Produktiivsusklubi was founded.
Reach your true potential in your whole life.

These are the people we work with every day to fulfill the mission of Produktiivsusklubi.<br> Trust me, they're very normal... most of the time.
MARKETING LEAD & CO-FOUNDER
Arno Lehtsaar
On 1 November 2018, I gave up a successful sales career at LHV to start my own dream – to start Produktiivsusklubi with my friends.
Why? Because setting goals, establishing habits, keeping focus…. it’s all just so exciting. I was like a little kid with a new toy, but the excitement keeps on coming. I want to share all this with you. To do it better, I graduated in Quality Management. I wrote my thesis on how to ensure and measure the quality of courses.
I also like to create systems, spend time with loved ones and win at everything.
PRODUCT MANAGER & COACH
Jakob Gill
I am husband to Reelika and father to Michelle and Michael. In addition to the Produktiivsusklubi, I’m an active wedding host and a few years ago I started a new church in Tartu with some friends.
There are more domains in life than ever before. At the same time I feel that my life is also more balanced. I have time for the really important things. The different productivity principles I have consciously applied have helped a lot.
I love spending time with my family. I have perfectionist tendencies and I’m more positive than the average person.

CEO & CO-FOUNDER
Valdur Rosenvald
I’m a husband, father of two beautiful children and founder of one of the best known wedding photography brands in Estonia, Rosenvald Photography. I graduated cum laude in psychology from the University of Tartu.
Applying the principles of productivity has enabled me to achieve more than I ever thought possible. But more importantly, it helps to keep my focus on what matters most in life.
I love coffee breaks, spending time with my wife Johanna and getting things done well.
