- You’ll study the basics of task management, learn that how you think about tasks changes the kind of things you ultimately accomplish in life, and learn why every single thing you do matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, all course materials are included online.
We’ve been students. We think busywork is a waste of time, and since this course is about maximizing your time, that would be a shame. In light of that, all course assignments are focused on personal application, concept mastery, and active reflection. You can expect to create your own systems, use them for multiple weeks, and reflect on/adjust them. You can expect to participate in teaching assignments where you prove that you know a concept well enough to share it. And you can expect to share answers to reflection questions that require you to wrestle with the content, not just regurgitate it.
This course is asynchronous, meaning you don’t have to be logged in at any specific times, but you will want to keep pace with the defined 8-week schedule as there are multiple assignments that span several weeks and cannot be “crammed” at the end of the course. There are recommended due dates that will help keep you on pace with an 8 week schedule so you finish everything in time.
Your 16 weeks of access will begin when you accept the invite to the course that will be sent to your inbox shortly after you register.
