What you will learn

Manage time and tasks more effectively

Immediately apply several easy time management techniques

Description

Are you feeling overwhelmed, pressed for time, and don’t know how you’ll squeeze another minute out of your day? If so, this is the course for you. In this hands-on, practical course, management consultant and author Joseph Phillips will show you how to get more things done with less stress and more efficiency. 

You have demands from projects, operations, bosses, and even coworkers. Meetings that could be summed up in an email – meetings that rob you of time from getting things done. Complicated tasks require focus and need your undivided attention to invade your desk and email daily. You need a system to organize your work, a system that’s more than a long list of what you need to do, but rather a system that helps you prioritize, create a strategy of accomplishment, and get things done.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Manage different types of activities

  • Identify and create priorities to add more value

  • Manage constraints that squeeze your options

  • Create to-do lists that work

  • Experiment with time management strategies

  • Get organized – for real, this time!

  • Remove "time sucks" that rob you of productive time

  • Create realistic duration estimates

If you’re ready to stop wasting time – and to take back control of your time – this is the course for you.

Not very applicable to the individual. From a management perspective, this material may be beneficial, however, there is very limited task management, delegation, workflow analysis availability to the individual worker as these are determined by management.

I have been able to understand that time management supersede the use of time but how available is what we use our time in achieving, how we prioritize our time and the effort we give in achieving set objectives.

Enjoyed the course. Some of the techniques I am using already every day. I would have enjoyed completing some questions per section. Those short quizzes give you self-confidence, that you listened and understood the material and makes you feel good. Maybe something to consider.

The task is relevant because we do not use our time wisely. Time management is important to a job or work

I can only hear the VERY loud music, the person's voice is just garbled nothing, some low sound I can barely make out.

There are a couple of generalizations that I'm not fond of. One of which is emails being of little value. I find emails an effective way to make and track decisions, easy to refer back to, the content can be bullet points which cuts down on chit chat with in person conversations, and when there are people all over the world that you're working with it's often the best way to communicate because of various timezones.

Great course, great content and teachings! However I'm giving it 3 stars due to an audio 'bug'. There is no sound, except for the intro, then the sound disappears. I figured that I have to switch to headphones in order to hear it. I'm a tech savvy person and I can say this isn't normal. I've taken plenty of udemy courses and never had this issue. I will change the rating once this is fixed. (Update: Seems to be working fine on a tablet)

This course describes a lot, helps understand the topic at hand, but applying the knowledge is a whole different story, more life like examples would be helpful, as we can learn on the mistakes / ideas of others the whole time. Not just at the end :)

Cours bien structuré, mais ça reste très théorique car ne tient pas assez compte des interactions réelles de l'environnement de travail
