Excellent course. Here you can even learn how to be more productive, just by identifying your distractions. Many other features are taught here, but I believe the biggest cause of unproductivity is the distractions.

The course is relatable and it really gave strategies which are specific in overcoming bad working habits such as multitasking. It also gave several approaches in prioritizing tasks to make good use of my own time.

It did really contain helpful information. Also I like this text format more than the previous videos that were just reading this text. Reading the text helped pay more attention to it and memorize it better.
