Make the most of EVERY second, because when it is gone, you can NEVER have it back!Wouldn’t it be absolutely liberating if you could decrease your hours and increase your productive output at the same time?Is life not too short to waste your precious seconds on unproductive endeavors, feeling stressed, overwhelmed and asking yourself how it is all worthwhile?Are you tired of feeling tired, overworked and on the verge of burning out because you have too much to do and to little time in which to do it?Don’t you think it is time you win back your life, crush your goals and master your time?Yes, yes, yes and YES! Every single person reading the words I have written here are absolutely unique, but I can say with almost perfect certainty that we all share the following:We all said YES as we were reading the questions.We all have only 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week and 52 weeks in a year.We all want to get the most out of life. We want to spend time with our loved ones, reach our professional goals, make time for our extra curriculars and just feel like we are beating the game of life.This course was designed with the single purpose of empowering you to not only say yes to the abovementioned questions, but also to live yes in answer to these questions. You will learn how to exponentially increase your productivity and manage your time with that perfect blend of effectiveness and efficiency.The course is the culmination of 10 years of personal and professional development, research and personal experimentation, and it is in my opinion, the first step you need to take if you want to take back not only your time, but also your life.Time management and productivity is not as simple as learning a few techniques and mindlessly force fitting them to you, your life and your circumstances. Yes the techniques are important and they do work, but in my experience you can only really unlock the potential of these seemingly simple truths about life and time, if you really understand why they and how they work.To really master time management and become a productivity ninja, you need to adopt a mindset not just apply techniques. The best way to foster a new outlook is by means of perspective. The course therefore starts off with background aimed at informing the thinking that will aid you in better using your time. Then once the foundations have been laid, the course dives into proven productivity management techniques and practices.This course is structured in a way that will help you to build your time management mindset and then teach you how to channel your new mental energy into ultra productivity.COURSE OUTLINE:NOTE: This course is eligible for 5.5 PDU’sSection1 serves as introduction to the course and the instructor.Section 2 lays the foundation for time management by taking a closer look at some of the core aspects of managing your time.Section 3 dives deep into what the course provider refers to as time leeches, the things that steal our time both noticeably and unconsciously.Section 4 explores the human factor in time and productivity management. What role does your body and mind really play and how can you get them to work for you instead of against you?Section 5 is the big one. Once all the necessary background information has been provided, you will learn the trailed and tested productivity techniques that will help you take your productivity and success to the next level.Section 6 covers some final nuggets of truth that can further improve your comprehension of the theory and some additional tips on really maximizing the use of your time.Section 7 is a course assessment required for claiming your professional development units.Section 8 wraps up the course and send you out into the world with new perspective, ready to win back your time.MESSAGE FROM INSTRUCTOR:This course was created to share with you what took me more than ten years to realize, refine apply and master. I deliberately kept is as short as possible , because at the end of the day time remains our most precious resource and even when applied for the purpose of learning, speed and optimization remains an important requirement.I am confident that this course can start you on an absolutely life changing journey and I cannot wait to be the one to get you started.So, time to stop the procrastination and start mastering your time and productivity!- Gerrit FourieWho this course is for:Anyone who is interested in self-development and taking their productivity to the next level.Anyone who wants to get more done in less time.Professionals, entrepreneurs, stay at home parents, students, freelancers, executives....

We have had many students, who have taken just Udemy courses, started a job as well as started freelancing with the skills they have learned.
