common sense

Having been in a management role, this course was a nice bit of insight and mostly common sense.Enjoyable!

all the information covered, are pretty much common sense, and yet people do not pay attention to all the little things discussed in this course.

Much was common sense, although it was well put together.

This course helps bring common sense, real world principles back into the forefront of your mind.

The course is not bad, but I felt that it was just a collection of common sense advice.

简单有效 useful course A few helpful tips but most of the stuff seemed like common sense.

Very useful, common sense solutions!

Just a bunch of common sense statements.

A lot of what was discussed seemed common sense to me, which is to say that it seemed a bit obvious and didn't really add much value.

Things that you think are common sense, but when heard out loud and broken down into simple digestible thoughts, it makes so much sense.

Excellent Very good, common and not so common sense approaches to managing time which requires some introspection and understanding of the self to properly execute I loved the practical tips on how t improve my productivity.

The instructor is wonderful, but the class is mostly common sense stuff and lot of filler for a class that is suppose to be about managing time efficiently.

bad habits

unfortunately, this course didn't tell us how to overcome some bad habits in self management, like procrastination.

It made me consider a lot of my bad habits which resulted in bad time management.

!, the concepts and techniques are very usefull and simple to apply This course points to good soluitons to nowaday's common bad habits, like procrastination or multitasking, and some of the strategies are very applicable the my work environment (not all because of hierarchical and cultural differences).The only point I would like to change is the teacher's tone of voice.

You can do it in one or two days.Basically, it's a bunch of tips to get your job done and be organized, keeping away some bad habits.

already knew

Already knew the techniques.

It's time management I already knew but didn't know how to organize it.

The course is still a bit short making it frustrating because 50% of what was taught I already knew.

Maybe I already knew too much about project management.

Mostly things I already knew but it made me more aware of them so well worth it.

doing things

What I was impressed was the supplementary reading linked to an online article - you are not doing things by saving time but the time will save itself if you Most of the content was already known to me, and in my opinion it scratches at most the surface.

I am also encouraged to be more organized in order to also help in doing things efficiently.

By studying these statistics I could re-arrange my time of doing things, prioritizing myself and discipline myself.

Thank you for teach us awesome strategies for doing things smarter Clear and easy to understand.

I found myself doing things on other tabs on the last two weeks because she couldn't keep my attention.

most important

Short but powerful course, the most important thing is YOU, start today and change your habits, be focus and discipline!

I think the best quality of this course is that it is a short course, which bolds the most important facts in our mind.

An excellent presentation with concise contents the most important information about time and task mangement.

One of the most important aspects of multitasking that was not covered and that is really needed is how to multitask in a situation of "housewife" type of work.

I appreciated this course, It is one of the most important skills to success at workplace.I could study more about time management system.
