This course was quite helpful. I work in a fast pace environment with multiple projects going at the same time. Planning the work, prioritizing and mapping progress was helpful. Thanks for the course.

Excelente, parece un tema muy sencillo pero la verdad cuando te empiezan a explicar lo sencillo que puede ser mejorar la productividad uno cae en cuenta de que había estado malgastando mucho su tiempo

As far as MOOCs go, I have not seen a worse design. This course which is supposed to be taken over 4 weeks will actually take you at most around 2 hours to complete. The tips given in this course are quite basic and there is not any content that was new to me because you can find the same and better content for free on the internet. Therefore, paying for such a course does not make sense to me.However, the tips given in the course are useful and their utility can not be denied. Try the course but I would suggest not paying for it.The following topics are covered in 5-10 minute long videos:-Importance of making a work plan-Importance of tracking and estimating time-How to avoid getting burnt out during your job

Hard facts about multitasking, great insight on getting things done which is hard when your mind tends to wander off. The problem is most managers (at least in IT) just love to have their team doing multitasking. For years I had known that the cost of task switching is high, but how do you educate managers about that? The course was a bit short but good. The speaker however needs to modulate speech in such a way that its rate is almost constant. I usually watch lesson videos at 125% or 150% the normal rate so if the speaker does not modulate his/her rate of speech then it becomes troublesome to listen at more than 100%.

the course was 0.k. it is very simpl and short. The course fee shown as Rs o.oo when I registered and it was a free trial. i could finish the course within few hours also and got certificate . but yesterday 25 april 2020 i got message that Rs 2879/- was debited from my credit card . this was without my knowledge and without any intimation from courseera. I have not given any authorisation to debit the amount as the course itself was free. i would like to request you to refund the amount at the earliest. i could not find amy more courses in my field of interest,.

1. It is too simplistic and hardly applicable for complex work or mid-senior managers. if you have 5 tasks in a day, sure, go for this course. Urgent/Important prioritization is not enough for time management in today's complex environment. 2. I would prefer to get more videos and videos to be more engaging with for ex. pop-up quizes than just going from a very simple video to several readings at a time
+ on the plus side, there are some useful templates to try out and some additional articles worth reading

A short and precise course on how to nail and be better at framing your timetables. Although this course gives you a micro-step application-based approach to managing your time, I feel the content presented is really great, and relatable to many working professionals. This course could have been better had it been more extensive in the assignments and peer-graded assignments which could have focussed on the individual's approach and guided solutions, rather than pure theory based assignments.

This is a very short, but useful and highly practical course. It will help you think about your work habits, as well as introduce you to an array of tools to analyze and make changes in whatever areas in your work or personal life you believe should be more productive/fulfilling. It's very light on the theoretical aspect, but it does offer you some food for thought. And Ms. Meloni is a delightful instructor -- she actually makes you wish the presentations were a lot longer than they are.

It's a short course, with helpful tips for people who need the basics of productivity. Personally, I didn't find it as revolutionary as I was expecting, because I've been doing well already, although I did learn a thing or two. I like that it's short and can be completed in a few hours, but I think much can be improved in terms of presentation. To be honest, it's quite boring compared to the other MOOCs I've completed, although Margaret does speak well.

The professor was personable and straight to the point, but I hoped for more elaborate criteria to really grasp the information. I am very visual and learn better with outlines, which didn't seem like her technique. I did enjoy the topics and points that were spoken about. The quizzes here were sometimes not clear and concise. It reminded me of elementary school how teachers tried to trick you on the exam, and some jargon wasn't used at all.

The topics are all very basic and the audio/video is sub-par, but the course offers a coherent overview of the core topics of time management and several useful tools and resources together with a few pointers to relevant literature on the topic, such as David Allen's GTD.
Applying all of the techniques presented in the course is a surefire way to enhance one's own productivity both at work and in the private life.

Has some good tips for beginners, but some of the materials are obvious and even preachy - focusing on examples such as employees failing to make progress due to chatting and being easily distracted. While this happens, I was looking for more advanced tips surrounding delays that are caused by office politics (such as difficulty cooperationg between teams, meetings time management etc)

This course is nicely built but it's mostly in written form, while I personally prefer videos or audios to be also able to take notes. Overall it gave nice inputs, even though I think some topics that are discussed are actually common knowledge (like "avoid distractions" etc) and I wouldn't have put so much focus on them. On the other hand, I liked the templates provided.

It was a short and good course. It has videos of good quality, short examples and talks. Every week it has lecture slides, articles about the week. But It was really short and contain too little information and subject. I hope that you will add more information. It was helpful to me and I hope that It help more to another students.
