Purpose. Innovation. Creativity. Excellence. Happiness.
The 7 Minute Life delivers world-class products and services designed to help people prioritize, organize, and simplify lives at work and at home. You have a choice to stay where you are today or to look forward and embrace the future of your human potential. Human potential relies on how you utilize the resources of time, effort, energy, emotion, and money.
Technology has created a 24-hour workday. The problem has created a mental health crisis. The stress of never-ending workloads and having too much to do is so common that we have lost site of the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and being present.
The world has changed. Men and women around the world have hit a tipping point. There is a deep desire to learn and grow. There is a growing awareness that life can be different tomorrow than it is today. People are asking powerful questions like:
- Who am I today?
- Who do I want to be in the future?
- How can I get there?
Needs, Motivation, Behaviors, Journey.
There is a need to invest in well-being programs and companies are more motivated than ever to provide real solutions.
The 7 Minute Life has spent the last two decades building a step-by-step process that is reinventing well-being programs in the workplace. We focus on helping people maximize meaning in life through rediscovering the power of purpose, innovation, creativity, excellence, and happiness.

Why I Created The 7 Minute Life
Busy was killing me. I was unhappy. I wanted life to matter again. ~Allyson Lewis
At the age of 43, I was a middle-aged full time working mother of two. I had worked as an executive in the financial services industry for more than two decades. I liked my job, but didn’t love it. I I felt like I was drifting through life. I lacked direction. I was surrounded with clutter, chaos, distraction, and constant interruption.
I was frozen, stuck, and exhausted. I was unhappy and drifting through life. The result was anxiety, stress, and depression. My health began to suffer, and I knew something had to change.
I wanted to find a better way to work and live.
I have spent the last 29 years studying time management, daily productivity, goal setting, reconnecting with priorities, rediscovering your purpose in life. I wanted to understand the impact of creativity, innovation, and human potential. During that time I have written five books, created 28+ time management and life management tools, worksheets, checklists, and templates.
My books have sold 130,000 copies. My YouTube channel has had 1.9 million minutes watched. About 15 years ago, I began to study the brain science of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the idea that the brain is plastic or changeable.
