There are a lot of goal courses out there. I've taken a couple of them here and reading, etc. This one is the best so far. There are suggestions on how to focus your goals and break them down into smaller chunks, etc. It's been particularly challenging for me to follow through with some of my goals. It's difficult to stay on track when you hit a plateau. This course got me focused again. Thank you. PS: I'd also recommend the time management course I took years ago from this instructor.

- I really liked the ideas this course brought across as well as the way the course was structured. - I do have a bit of feedback regarding the production quality, though: - Your voice isn't mono, it's panning from side to side as you speak. This feels very jarring to me if I listen with headphones (which I have to do since I'm working in a shared office). I guess that happened because you recorded the audio with a stereo microphone but kept moving your head left and right as you spoke. You could avoid this by setting your mic to mono or by merging your stereo recording into a single mono channel in an audio editor or in your video editor. - You sometimes played background music during specific segments, but most of the time your videos had no background music. This is suboptimal for me as someone with ADHD (and autism) because background music is essential in helping me stay focused, but if I play my own music on Spotify it clashes with your music every time you decided to play some in your videos.

Major takeaway from this learning path is that Multi-tasking is a Myth. In this millenial age, young people are a fan of multi-tasking. I agree, multi-tasking doesn't give you focus, work is half-heartedly done. Thus, we need laser-like focus to give much credence to our efforts and results are best, if not excellent.
