Time is precious. You can earn more money, but you will never get more time. Managing your time is managing your life.
This course will help you take your time management skills to the next level.
Today people have problems with ever-growing lists of tasks that seem to have no end. They multitask. Their life is filled with distractions, from office noise, through emails and chat, to social media and news. In the end, they blame themselves for procrastination and the inability to work regularly. In all this, they usually do their best to get stuff done and also help their colleagues.
This course will help you with those issues. You will be more productive and find a balance between achieving your goals, relationships, leisure and creative time.
It is an essence of over 40 books, 10 years of practice and feedback from over 2000 students - online and offline.
If you want to know the core of "Getting Things Done," "Essentialism", "The power of habit", "Your brain at work," and many more and how they fit together - this course is for you. All comes from a teacher passionate about the topic, who has over 10 years of experience in large corporations and smaller companies and spent over 6 years in learning and development.
I believe this is a missing piece in our education system, so we will learn:
How our brain functions and why we sometimes need lists. Also how to form sustainable, long-term habits.
4 common mistakes that people make with their task lists and how to solve them.
7 strategies to overcome distractions.
Over 30 best apps and plugins that support everyday organization.
How to effectively plan our days in under 5 minutes.
How to effectively prioritize in short-term, mid-term and long-term.
When you finish the course you will:
Be able to stay organized, even with changing priorities and distractions - this will lower your stress and give you the feeling of control.
Be more effective and have more time and energy for things that are important to you - family, friends, hobby, development, leisure.
Be able to focus on what is the most important and make progress
Be able to understand various time management techniques and how they fit together.
Be able to create your own productivity system that fits your personal style and way of living - this will help you live your own way, instead of copying others and waste your time on things that won't work.
You will also:
Be much more focused and feel better work satisfaction.
Have much better prioritization skills and more easily say "no" to less important things.
Spend less time on distractions, social media, multitasking.
This course is for professionals who want to organize the chaos, have better work satisfaction, while having more time for family, friends, hobby, development and relax.
This course is not for highly organized people, that successfully implemented GTD - they need an advanced course. This course is also not for people who hate organizing because we will have to give some structure to our tasks and projects. If you hate organizing, you will quickly get tired.

There could be more work done with the planning applications. The length of each video was excellent though.
By James Daniel on 7/20/2026
It definitely has some good ideas that I will need to try to keep implemented in my life. I don't think all of it applies to my situation, but it was a great course
By Uluç Günay on 6/10/2026
Sehr realitätsnah, mit sehr guten, sofort anwendbaren Tipps und Informationen, inspiriert von einigen nominierten Büchern zeigt Herr Nabielec, wie die Zeitplanung sich nachhaltig gestalten lässt und einen sicher fühlbaren Mehrwert für das berufliche aber auch private Leben bringen kann. Sehr empfehlenswert, unbedingt mitnehmen!

Der Referent hat Ahnung und spricht aus seiner eigenen Erfahrung und Praxis. Das merkt man. Auch die Buchvorschläge finde ich gut. - Die Audiospur der Videosequenz startet etwas zu früh, dass man die ersten Wörter nicht hören kann
By Mohammad Fazli Bin Mazli on 4/20/2026
This course provides exceptional value for professionals managing high-stress environments and multiple competing priorities. The comprehensive approach addresses real-world challenges that many face when dealing with unexpected demands and shifting circumstances. What sets this course apart is its practical toolkit - the inclusion of actionable checklists, carefully curated app recommendations, and valuable resource links transforms theoretical concepts into immediately applicable solutions. These supplementary materials demonstrate thoughtful course design that extends learning beyond the classroom.

It really has been a good so far. It really helped me understand how the mind works using logic, emotions, and patterns which all play a role in our productivity.

Great course, Piotr! It really helped me summarize and reorganize a lot of things in my mind. I’m confident I’ll be able to use what I learned both at work and in my personal life :)
By Haroon Rasheed on 11/3/2025
The time management course is truly amazing and provides detailed insights. Many of these concepts are things we’ve used or simply overlooked in our experience, but applying them effectively will definitely enhance our efficiency and make our work easier.

By Joseba Urizarbarrena on 10/3/2025
Ha estado bien pero me hubiera gustado algo más de consejos prácticos para el día a día, luego creo que hay muchas cosas que se pueden aprender con el correo, calendario y listas de tareas.
