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

Me ubiesen gustado más ejemplos y prácticas, pero en sí el curso cumple su función ya que de una manera general se aprende a planear más eficientemente el tiempo vs las actividades.

Very basic, the course is not really going into deep with the topics, however it is all very clear and understandable and I really liked the course resources and real life examples.

Instruction videos were short and to the point, and modules did not take long to complete. I would appreciate more in-video review questions and supplemental articles, however.

Good curse. The issue is that it was way way too short, and I felt its content is the equivalent of a week, and that more could be said about it. Again, otherwise, good course.

The additional resources provided add that extra edge to your learning from this course and the provision of slides recapitulating what the videos covered is a great support.

This is a great introductory course on productivity. It is also a good 'refresher' on the basics for those who have forgotten what they learned earlier in the careers. ;-)

Very good tools to use for time management. My favorite lesson is where the facilitator stated we teach people how to treat us i.e. answering emails at 2am. It can wait.

Definitely a great course to let me know where is the problem. Sometimes problem doesn't lies on yourself but your employer. Do stand up for yourself and not get abuse.

A good basic introduction to the principles of time management in the professional workplace. However, a bit light in terms of depth, and not overly challenging.

The best of all is Mike Sanders Videos on multitasking in week 4 otherwise, its all general knowledge PLANNING your day at work. A bit slow paced course for me.

Useful, but in a general sort of way. The instructor was well spoken and deliberate, but the content comes across as more "common-sense" material than anything.
