The course is easy to get through and provides a variety of resources (although linked out of site) for you to explore and read through. The content is relatable, and gives you many ah-hah! Moments, the real challenge is applying it in real life, it does take a lot of self awareness and ability to (for example) saying no, in order to stick to your schedule etc. Flexibility is key, to apply what you learn, there is not super schedule or productivity person, but applying these steps will help you improve in this area a whole lot..

How the course is paced makes it easy for you to relay the same information and steps to other people in your life who may be striggling in these areas too.

Now that the pandemic has restricted us from doing our normal activities, we are also forced to do everything in one place. Time management is a challenge now more than ever, because we have a lot of things to do and responsibilities to fulfill at home and in our jobs. This course made me realize how important my time is and how I can maximize it by working smarter, not harder. I learned how inefficient multitasking is and how it can negatively affect my work. Now, I am able to identify my priorities and know how what actions I can do to accomplish them. This course is short and insightful! Perfect for everyone!

A very helpful course. Short and to the point. It made me consider a lot of my bad habits which resulted in bad time management. I now appreciate my time more and welling to change the way I think, plan and manage my time better than I used to in order to be more productive. I realize that multitasking gave me the illusion of being so accomplished, when the only thing I was accomplishing was being highly distracted and by that working against myself. I loved the additional materials, especially Mike Sanders YouTube videos.

Thank you very much for providing this course!

The course has really giving me new ideas on work plan,Prioritizing,organizing work ,managing time , doing the most important work at your most effective or productive time, knowing how to multitask and achieving the required result,also it clearly shows you to ask from your supervisor where responsibilities are not clear to you specially where you are new to the job and also creating status report, having different folders for jobs not related, having actions plans and many more to give productive mind sets. Thank you

You can finish the whole course in about an hour, though I took about a couple, since I watched a set of great YouTube videos linked to from the course material. The tips and techniques you will learn will be invaluable when working on projects/courses. The knowledge gained from the course can be leveraged to put you on the path to a productive life with a lot less stress and lot more happiness and self-contentment. Give this one a try, and you will be very happy at the end of the course!

This course has helped me prioritize my everyday tasks and reduce stress with timed tasks. Time Management is essential for anyone who wants to stay on top of whatever they are doing including spending time with your family without any guilt of having to actually go to work, wink. I also understood that clear Communication goes hand-in-hand with Time Management to the point of almost eliminating misunderstandings or at least keeping them at a minimum. Thank you Coursera!

Excellent course ! When we are on work mode, we often think 24 hours are also not sufficient for work completion.

But if we plan, set priorities, and most importantly, if we implement the work plan considering all check points then only we can make optimum utilization of time.

Also this course is for all of us, irrespective of hierarchy, employees/business professionals, students, working/non -working etc,

Thank you Coursera ! Valuable course for Valuable Time !

short and sweet and right down to the point, this course offers very basic techniques for being efficient in the workplace. nothing revolutionary, but very basic stuff that truly works. It does not take much time and effort to go through the course and immediately apply what you learn.

I have been in the professional life for 4 decades now, but I still learned a few tricks that helped me get more transparency in how I spend my time.

highly recommended.

Most of the Millennials today are multitasking in their work. They want to get the job done at once without thinking that the quality of the work output is being sacrificed. We should really focus on one assignment first rather than doing it simultaneously. In that way, we will 100% be productive. Thanks to our Professor on Work Smarter, Not Harder for sharing her thoughts about this with us. This is really a good course for all of us.

"This is the first time I have attended a class in this format and wondered how effective it would be. It was very effective and therefore I would definitely be interested in attending other classes in the same format. The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information about the current scenario it will really help me to maintain between my professional and personal life balance

I think this class was great because the information was very approachable. You really have to be honest with yourself if you want any of these skills to sink in and work. I liked the videos and all the related readings... not too agressive, but to the point. To create new habits takes patience and consistency. You need to go slow so it sticks. I look forward to reviewing my notes when I need them!

One of the best courses I have taken so far on Coursera. It had such wealth of information that was not too complicated to understand. It was to the point and concise yet enjoyable to read. The daily life examples helped in understanding the subject more. I have learned so much and I would be sure to execute and implement all that I have learnt in my daily and professional life in the future.

At a basic level the course is highly recommended for starters, people passionate about time and work management and specially for whom who like to work smarter not harder. The course fulfilled its core outcome that was " Work Smarter, Not Harder". Thank you very much Margaret Meloni for your creative efforts and teaching methods. loved your related examples, could not have been better.

A wonderful course that contributes to moving the person to a wonderful level of achievement and productivity and achieving personal and professional goals. It has benefited a lot towards high productivity with little effort and high concentration. Thank you very much. Thank you very much to the teachers and presenters of the course and everyone who made an effort in that.

The information given in the course is helpful, the examples are lucid and clear, the quizzes are based enough on the course material to effectively model how I understand the material, but with enough variance from the material that they helped reinforce it. I was able to come to this after around a month or half a month's break and remember most of the information.

It was really a great course and it helps me in time management in many ways. I really recommend it to all those who are still figuring out how to manage their time in a proper order.

This course includes various tips and tricks through which you can do your work more efficiently. Also, one more plus point is that it contains small videos that will keep you engage.

Such a great course. Especially for them who are seeking for time management, multitasking. This course will be too much for those who are not able to do their tasks on the right time and failed to complete their goals.

Thanks to Margaret Meloni for her valuable lectures and explanation of time management and other topics which makes the lessons too easy to learn.

I don't think it is a course. It's more like a productivity/time management workshop. Provide some excellent insights for students and professionals. But it is a little boring, and there are two concise videos( 2 minutes) every week. You need to read some materials during the courses. This is the only course about productivity/time management on Coursera...

I loved this course so much! It was incredibly insightful and I ended up devouring the modules in a matter of hours because I wanted to keep learning. I'm very grateful that I found this course to help me become a better person and employee. The instructor had a really friendly tone - instead of a condescending one - her example stories made me laugh a lot!

Dear madam, thank you so much for giving an opportunity to attend this course. The way you presented really awesome. Now a days we have been struggling and facing lot of problems in the work environment and unable to balance the things. But i am sure this will show a big impact on me in future to balance between work and life.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely

Was An effective and informative course, focuses on practical skills with necessary theoretical knowledge.You will learn:- Plan effectively to achieve personal and professional goals.- Recognize and overcome barriers to successful time management.- Keep a sense of perspective to prevent and manage crises- Manage resources effectively and efficiently.

It is not unknown for us to want to work smart but unknowingly we end up doing unproductive work with no work satisfaction at the end of the day. This course is a wonderful reminder and they are teaching us in the smart way by engaging us with their work experiences quite relatable to us as audience. Thank you Ms Meloni and coursera for this course!

The tips that I learned from this course are pretty simple and very practical, but they are actually a bit challenging to do in real life if you're used to multitasking and not having plans. This course reminded me to focus on my priorities first so that I'll be more productive, have plenty of time to do other things, and achieve work-life balance.

Thank you Margaret Meloni for conducting this course. I have learn a lot of time management process such as strategic time reserve, work plan, self priorities, time tracking and many more. It was great course and i can use these tips in managing my time in personal and work time. Once again Thank you Margaret Meloni.
