FAQ:
What is LifeStudio?
LifeStudio is an app which runs on Apple iPad devices running iOS 9+. It offers powerful goal charting/tracking features and “Creating Your Life”, a three month self-study course created by Robert Fritz.
Who is Robert Fritz?
Robert Fritz, composer, filmmaker and organizational consultant is author of the international bestseller The Path of Least Resistance, and the creator of “Creating Your Life”.
What is “Creating Your Life”?
“Creating Your Life” is the basic course developed by Robert Fritz 30 years ago which has been updated over time with new insights and lessons, now delivered using modern technology for the best chance of success.
How do I subscribe to the course?
First, download LifeStudio from the Apple App Store. Once running, tap the gear in the upper right hand corner of the main page, then tap “Purchase” next to the “Manage Subscriptions” option. Then tap “buy” next to the “Creating Your Life” option. You’ll need to enter your AppleID password, and confirm you want to subscribe. You will be billed on a monthly basis thereafter.
How much does it cost?
The subscription is $99US a month, and the course takes about three months to complete at one lesson per day. Along with the course itself you also gain access to participate in the monthly “Conversations with Robert” webinar where students can discuss their experiences with each other and Robert, as well as unlimited tension charts to track your goals. As long as your subscription remains current, you can continue to attend the conversations and create new charts, and the course can be reset if you want to go through the experience more than once (many do).
How do I join the Conversations with Robert?
Once you are subscribed to “Creating Your Life”, you’ll see a tile marked “Conversations” on the main screen. Tap that to see information on joining the next call, and a recording of the previous one. The conversations are hosted on a service called “GoToWebinar”, and while you can call in with a phone, you will only be able to participate in the conversation by using a computer or mobile device running the freely available GotoWebinar software.
How do I access the daily focusing exercises?
After you have been assigned the first exercise, you can always find the daily focusing exercises on the main course screen under the “Focus Exercises” tile.
How can I print my charts?
Currently you can not print charts from the app. The best solution is to take a screenshot (holding the home and sleep buttons simultaneously) and print that. We will always be making improvements, and we will be adding a print option in a later release.
How can I back up my charts?
Your charts are stored on your local device only, so it’s a good idea to back them up often. To do so, you’ll need a computer running Apple’s iTunes with your device attached via USB. In iTunes, go to your device, then click on Apps and scroll down to LifeStudio. Click on the LifeStudio icon, and you should see three .sql files. Copy them to your computer. In order to restore, you just copy them back, replacing the ones on your device. Be aware that this will replace all your charts and course process on your device, so be sure that’s what you want to do!
How do I delete a goal?
To delete a goal, tap and hold on the goal for a few seconds. When you let go, the goal will turn all red and a “Delete” will appear on the goal tile. Tap “delete” to delete the goal.
How do I mark an action step as complete?
To mark an action step compete, simply slide your finger right to left across the action step text. Options to “Complete” and “Telescope” will appear. Tap “Complete” and the action step will appear in current reality as completed.
How do I telescope an action step?
To mark an action step compete, simply slide your finger right to left across the action step text. Options to “Complete” and “Telescope” will appear. Tap “Telescope” and the action step will appear as the goal in a new, telescoped chart.
How do I reset the course (start over)?
If you want to erase your current progress and start the course from the beginning, tap the gear icon in the upper right hand side of the main screen. Then tap “Reset Course”, and it will be reset to Week 1 day 1. Your goals are NOT deleted, however, so if you want to remove them you’ll need to manually delete them using the method above.
How do I delete course videos from my device?
From time to time, you might run out of space on your device and need to delete the course videos to free up space. To do so, tap the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen, then tap “Delete course videos” from the menu that appears. Once deleted, you can reload the current week by going back to the course and week you were in. The videos for that week only will be downloaded to your device.
How do I cancel my subscription?
If you want to cancel your subscription, simply follow the instructions for managing your subscriptions on your device, found here. <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039>
