Our take

Based on the ratings of 56,045 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.

Brandon Hakim's mini course is a free taster of his longer productivity class. It runs 36 minutes across 12 lectures, split into a short framework section, seven practical steps, and a quick next-steps wrap up. Topics include a morning routine, deciding what to work on each day, three kinds of plans, and the 80/20 rule. It also hands out time management worksheets. Nothing is required except a willingness to try the ideas, and more than 485,000 students have signed up.

Reviewers mostly like how clear and quick it is. Several say the lessons are easy to follow, and one watched at double speed because Brandon speaks clearly. Others say it nudged them toward a routine and set work blocks. Of about 56,000 ratings, roughly 46,000 are four or five stars. The complaints are consistent, though. A couple of reviewers call the advice basic common sense, and one says the same points get repeated. Another found the instructor's self-promotion off-putting. Anyone who has read a productivity book or two may find little new.

Since it costs nothing and takes about half an hour, the risk is low. The last update was May 2024, and there are no quizzes and no certificate, just the worksheets. It looks like a good first nudge for a beginner and a skip for anyone who already plans their days well. If you want depth, expect to look elsewhere.

Best forBeginners who want a quick, free push to plan their day, not a deep system.
Skip it ifYou already read productivity books and want advanced systems or fresh ideas.

Pros

  • Short at 36 minutes, so it is easy to finish in one sitting
  • Clear delivery that holds up at double speed, per one reviewer
  • Gives worksheets for planning your time, plus a morning routine and the 80/20 rule
  • Free, so trying it costs only about half an hour

Cons

  • Some reviewers call the advice basic or common sense
  • One reviewer says the same points get repeated
  • Last updated May 2024, with no quizzes and no certificate
Great points to make a plan and stick with it. Teaches you what to focus on to become more successful / accomplished
Jennifer Dillard, a student

Fits true beginners to planning; a seventh grader found it a good match, but experienced planners will find it light.

Course Description

QUESTION: What If You Could Get Twice As Much Done Tomorrow As You Have Any Day This Year?

Six years ago, I was sitting in the passenger seat of a car with my friend.

My friend turns to me and says "It's incredible how much I've gotten done in this year! So much has changed."

And all I could do is smile. Because for me, almost nothing had changed.

The truth is that we all want to use your time well. But in order to do so, you need to know certain principles you'll never learn in school.

I didn't want to face another year where nothing changed. That's why I went after the answers. And it's also why I made this course.

Inside, I'm going to share with you 7 specific steps you can take today to become more productive, taken from my course How To Double Your Productivity By Tomorrow Morning. If you take these ideas and apply them, I think you'll become more productive than you ever have before.

Here's a sample of what you'll learn inside:

  • These two words from a 2,000 year old book completely changed how I look at Time Management. Here's what they are, and how to use them [Lecture 2]

  • The "Time Management Trap" - If you don't know what it is, chances are you're making it [Lecture 3]

  • What to do every morning to skyrocket your productivity [Lecture 4]

  • How you can do 3 hours of work in 1 hour [Lecture 5]

  • How to always know what to work on [Lecture 6]

  • Why you need to make these 3 plans to manage your time well [Lecture 7]

  • The 80/20 Rule no one talks about and is more important to productivity [Lecture 8]

  • My Time Management Worksheets - I'll give them to you so you can use them now [Lectures 9 & 10]

  • Why achieving your goals is like filling a water bucket [Lecture 11]

Brandon Hakim

I'm On A Quest To Give You The Education You'll Never Get In School.

The things that the world's highest achievers spent their entire lives discovering, that no professor or teacher will ever tell you.

Because when I was in college, I was mad. I’d just read a book and everything inside was the opposite of what I was learning in all my classes.

So I ran into the dean’s office and said "I'm literally learning more from the books I get on Amazon for five bucks than these classes that cost thousands of dollars each!"

And all she had to tell me is...they're working on it!

So when I walked out that day, I swore I’d teach myself the things I should have learned in school. And I started reading LOTS of books….now over a thousand on everything from meditation to making money. And I realized ONE BIG THING…

Everyone who’s excelled in any area of life knew things we’re never taught in school.

They were Insiders.

They discovered the truth about finding their purpose and creating a perfect vision to work towards. Or about motivation and productivity, financial freedom, having authentic relationships, changing the world, persuading people, learning incredibly quickly or celebrating their hundredth birthday still in perfect health.

I used to do a lot of chunks in-between my real work but now I know that is not the best way to work. From this lecture, I have learnt to rill out what I need to do and get on it with focus avoiding things that will distract me until I get my work done. I was not investing my time but actually wasting it but now I know better. Kudos to this course.

ish but i want how to be creativehow to play soccer

By Samuel Tinker on 8/31/2026

I was admittedly a bit skeptical at first, but the advice has been great and I'm implementing it now. We'll see how it goes, but I'll dedicate myself and, hopefully, get the results I've been desperately seeking. I been watching on 2x speed, thankfully the instructor speaks clearly so it makes it easy to digest at the accelerated pace.

By Kelly Green on 7/29/2026

the small videos make it easy to digest the material with my ADHD. It gives me natural breaks to write notes or step away without needing to back up to remember where I was. The material is also easily executed, direct instructions.

By Baagya Narayanan on 7/17/2026

Very good experience. I love this course, and time management is much faster. Insider school is also very helpful. I hope that Brandon Hakim and all the people who watch these courses on https://udemy.com and apply it on real life will really succeed in life. At the age of 9, I could say this could be very helpful for me in the future. I chose this course because I had too much to juggle, and too many distractions and couldn't get anything done on time. Thank you, Brandon Hakim.

By Morufat Akintayo on 7/8/2026

The greatest thing i am thankful for in this course is how it has given me a wake up call on my bad habit of keeping mysef busy with irrelevant things to avoid doing what is important. I am glad i took this course.

By Chinonso Okafor on 7/6/2026

Yes! It gave me a motive to keep working on myself and find myself always doing what would benefit me in my lifetime. I am just getting started and I hope I get it all straightened out as I take the course further.

By Nosiphiwo Mxothwa on 6/20/2026

It is quite interesting and in the short period of time that I started with this course, I really gained a whole new experience and my mind set regarding Time Management it has changed , it is totally different view to what I had in mind.

By Noora Ali on 6/7/2026

It also made me realize that time management is not only about being busy, but about being intentional with every choice I make during the day. When I start planning my time more carefully, I can reduce distractions and focus on what truly matters for my goals. Over time, this kind of awareness can build stronger habits and lead to better productivity and personal growth.

By Bharathi KIT_89_885 on 5/19/2026

I recently completed a free course on Time Management through Udemy, and it was a valuable experience. ✅ Highlights: Clear explanation of core principles like prioritization, goal setting, and scheduling. Practical techniques such as the Pomodoro method and Eisenhower Matrix that can be applied immediately. Easy‑to‑follow structure, making it beginner‑friendly yet insightful. My takeaway: This course helped me rethink how I balance my business operations and cybersecurity study schedule. By applying structured time blocks and reflection notes, I feel more confident in managing daily tasks effectively
