Brooklyn, NY

I'm Peter Freed, the founder and CEO of Slothzero, and my journey has been shaped by my personal experiences with ADHD and executive functioning challenges. As a licensed psychiatrist, I’ve always been fascinated by the psychology behind productivity and motivation, and I’ve struggled with these issues myself throughout my life.

After completing my education, I found that even with my extensive training, I still faced difficulties focusing and getting my work done on time. It was during the COVID lockdowns of 2020 that I discovered a transformative approach to productivity: I asked my personal assistant, Yana, to join me on Zoom while we worked together. This simple act of accountability helped me stay focused and accomplish more than I ever thought possible.

Realizing that I performed best when working for others, I decided to create Slothzero to help clients who faced similar challenges. Our mission is to provide the support and accountability necessary for individuals to achieve their goals, whether that means getting in shape, writing a novel, or simply managing daily tasks like taking medication or maintaining personal hygiene.

At Slothzero, we believe that human connection is the key to overcoming procrastination and enhancing productivity. Our approach is built on psychological and sociological principles, focusing on the importance of trust, accountability, and community. We’ve developed a comprehensive system that combines interpersonal coaching with modern technology to help clients stay on track and reach their full potential.

I’m proud to say that Slothzero has helped countless individuals transform their lives by harnessing their strengths and addressing the psychological factors that contribute to procrastination. Together, we can create a supportive environment where everyone can thrive and achieve their dreams. Let's embark on this journey together and unlock your true potential!
