This course helped me to see some self sabotaging habits that I had developed that were decreasing my overall productivity. Now I am able to take steps to change and start getting things done.

Most of the time I am unable to manage the time due to involvement in the non-productive works. This Course has given me to define urgent and important work in personal and professional work.

As far as MOOCs go, I have not seen a worse design. This course which is supposed to be taken over 4 weeks will actually take you at most around 2 hours to complete. The tips given in this course are quite basic and there is not any content that was new to me because you can find the same and better content for free on the internet. Therefore, paying for such a course does not make sense to me.However, the tips given in the course are useful and their utility can not be denied. Try the course but I would suggest not paying for it.The following topics are covered in 5-10 minute long videos:-Importance of making a work plan-Importance of tracking and estimating time-How to avoid getting burnt out during your job

Hard facts about multitasking, great insight on getting things done which is hard when your mind tends to wander off. The problem is most managers (at least in IT) just love to have their team doing multitasking. For years I had known that the cost of task switching is high, but how do you educate managers about that? The course was a bit short but good. The speaker however needs to modulate speech in such a way that its rate is almost constant. I usually watch lesson videos at 125% or 150% the normal rate so if the speaker does not modulate his/her rate of speech then it becomes troublesome to listen at more than 100%.

the course was 0.k. it is very simpl and short. The course fee shown as Rs o.oo when I registered and it was a free trial. i could finish the course within few hours also and got certificate . but yesterday 25 april 2020 i got message that Rs 2879/- was debited from my credit card . this was without my knowledge and without any intimation from courseera. I have not given any authorisation to debit the amount as the course itself was free. i would like to request you to refund the amount at the earliest. i could not find amy more courses in my field of interest,.

1. It is too simplistic and hardly applicable for complex work or mid-senior managers. if you have 5 tasks in a day, sure, go for this course. Urgent/Important prioritization is not enough for time management in today's complex environment. 2. I would prefer to get more videos and videos to be more engaging with for ex. pop-up quizes than just going from a very simple video to several readings at a time

+ on the plus side, there are some useful templates to try out and some additional articles worth reading
