This course teaches tactical, day-to-day productivity skills: getting tasks out of your head, telling the important from the merely urgent, working in focused blocks, and beating procrastination in the moment. It is built around simple daily and weekly systems you can start using immediately, plus practical ways to protect those systems when life gets busy. The emphasis throughout is on quick, concrete techniques rather than long-term strategic planning.
