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.

Great course with a lot of great tips and tricks. I learned a lot about multitasking and why it cannot be done. I feel like I can take my productivity to the next level. I have some systems in place, but this course gave me a lot of good ideas.

Maybe a little too short. Quite easy on the quizzes too. The information is very good though. Many of these techniques I am already doing, so this was more of an affirmation of being on the right track for me than much of anything else.

OVERALL COURSE IS HONESTLY A GOOD APPROACH AND CAN HAVE A GREAT IMPACT ON THE DAILY CHORES AND WORK PLACE PROBLEMS BUT I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF THEY INCREASE THE COUNT OF ATTEMPTS GIVEN TO SOLVE THE QUIZ SO THAT I WOULD REALLY HELP

Pretty basic course, but for those of us who struggle with time management, it definitely has some great strategies to put in place. It's pretty quick to go through, so worth the time it takes for what you get, in my opinion.

I like Margaret, she spoke straight to the point. Even its sound very fast especially for non english speaker like me, but she presented very well. Transcript was very helpful to understand the overall materials.

Sometimes we will miss out the organization from our tones of tasks in our job. and it is good chance to know what actually we have missed and as a remind that we should work smarter instead of just work harder.

This is very informational and can be really applied to work. However, I wish they don't use white background on the speaker and should there be minimal music. Plain voice could really put me into sleep.

Very handful tips and simple structure. I did not rated 5 star as I think, the videos and its esthetic could improve easy. For instance: include color and not use a dull-white-slide for bullets.

I liked too much the course since the concepts were clearly stated; However if possible it would be good to add more reading material apart from lectures transcriptions and some articles.

It was an interesting course and even if theoretically one is supposed to know and realize what is presented here it is good to have it told again for refreshing memory and reinforcement.
