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%.
