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

Decent content that's unfortunately presented in the least engaging way possible. It doesn't look like much effort went into making the material palatable. If your preferred method of learning through videos, this course is not for you. 95% of it is just reading. I wouldn't even consider this to be an online course. The teaching component is severely lacking, if not non-existent.

Shallow course, less than an hour of content that sadly, lacks the depth to be useful, plenty of more useful content on anywhere you'd like, honestly the only pro in this course is that it ended quickly. Maybe working harder for creating this course would have proven useful.

I didnt find it very useful

It maybe useful for professionals just starting work but if you are in a managerial or leadership position struggling to manage work it didn't seem useful.

Very basic tips and tricks to manage life

I found the course pretty basic. It did cover the topics well , however, in-depth understanding and newer concepts (for eg. exercises on time quadrants) could have been introduced & explained in detail.

nothing much new here, even if you were the worst at time management. The quizzes were ridiculously easy and I guess one can also pass with a 100% without watching any of the content..

Very simple and intuitive content. I was looking for more powerful content as a struggling perfectionist on how to declutter your tasks and shift mindset towards better choices.

While this course might be suitable for somebody new to this topic, it was not very useful for me. I have read numerous articles on the topic, so it brought me nothing new.

The lectures were very short, the contents are too simple and general, does not have the deepness and comprehensiveness for professionals. Did not live up to expectation.

Too basic. I'd expect more science based facts, better workplace examples and a stronger set of tips.

I liked very much the recommended youtube videos in the last module

Most of the content was already known to me, and in my opinion it scratches at most the surface. also it only contains round about a 100 minutes which is not that much.

This is a very basic course on time management. Some of the resources are quiet helpful. The course does not really provide you with useful information besides that.

There is not much information you would not know before taking the course. I was expecting more tips and tricks how to change well known theory to practical life.

It should be helpful for people who are not working yet or is about to start they first job. It is only the basic to get the idea of how to organize the work.

Very basic course. It only touches the surface of the subject. Most of those information you can find in every web-page on time management.

I've almost learned nothing new by this course. I've at least expected to learn more about prioritization based on urgent and important.

nice idea, but too short, shallow and with too few practical examples.

Also a review of some software out there would have been handy

I think whatever has been shared are the things which is known by most of the people. And i don't find much value in the course.

It's ok. Reading the top three books on time management would take less time and provide far more insight and inspiration.

A few good tips, but to be honest, months later I have not really stuck with the productivity methods described here.

This course is too basic and superficial. I think already high school students can figure out the tips by themselves.

Achei bem fraco viu, não que as informações não sejam relevantes, mas já vi cursos bem melhores sobre esse assunto.

Presenter speaks too slow. Still slower than I would like at 2.0x speed. Not a lot of new information.

The material is very interesting, but with only 15 minutes of video a week, it is really not enough.
