Course Description
Ok, so you want to learn animation to share your awesome imagination, but there is one problem. You don’t have time.
You are super busy, you have kids, you have a full-time job, and a gazillion things to do each day, so you can’t possibly make room to start learning animation.
Right?
I decided to create this course because I have met a lot of subscribers who would love to learn animation but they just can’t find the time to do it.
If this sounds like you, then you would love it if each day could just last for 30 hours instead of 24.
That would make every dream you have come true right? Starting with the powerful goal of being able to tell stories and sharing ideas using animation.
But reality check, days only provide us with 24 hours, so the question is... can we do something about it?
What if I tell you that there was a way to accomplish everything you need to do, have time to learn animation and on top of that, have some time to spare?
Would you believe me?
Well, I am here to tell you, it is possible. I have done it and in this course, I will teach you exactly how you can do it too.
To give you a clear idea of what you can accomplish, let’s talk about an example we use in the course.
Steve.
He is married, has a lot of imagination. He makes his buddies laugh with all kinds of crazy stories, and is thinking about learning animation to share all of his jokes through animation, and make people smile around the world.
The problem is that he has so many things to do each week.
- He has a full-time job
- He likes to spend time with his family and friends
- He likes to go on a date each week with his wife, to maintain the intimacy in the relationship.
- Goes to the gym 3 times a week
- He has important commitments that are a priority in his life, which are
- To render community services on his church
- And help his kids with his school homework.
- He has multiple solicitations to help his family like:
- Help his kids to get ready for school
- Pick them up from school
- Giving a ride to his son to visit his friends
- And sometimes, attend a meeting in his kid’s school.
- Oh, and on top of all that, he is finally fulfilling his promise and is building a tree house in his backyard. This takes a lot of his time, but it’s worth it because now his kids love him more than ever, the house is 50% complete and still needs a lot of hard work to do.
And Steve, on top of all of that, he is planning to learn animation?
No way. It’s probably better to just keep the stories and imagination to himself, and deprive the rest of the world, from knowing about his funny jokes.
Sad story.
Well, this course teaches Steve how to exactly organize his activities, be more productive and be able to, not only be able to accomplish all of that on a weekly basis but also learn animation and even have some spare time to catch a movie on Netflix every now and then.
This course will give you the techniques and tools you need to accomplish all of this with your time.
Enroll now and learn how to be more productive, have time to learn animation and even have some time to spare doing other hobbies or catching a movie on Netflix.
See you inside.

Unfortunately it is something completely different from what i expected. I work as professional 3D Artist and was looking for tips about time-estimation for clients and project planing. This is more like a very general motivational/self-improvement talk. Also it has a religious subtext that is somewhat out of place here. Probably great video if you are looking for general time management tips, but has little to do with professional animation. Also it's filled with advertising for his own Animation-Course.

It helped me really get out of the hole of lack of productivity and learning how to track my time and see my silly daily time investments. It was a life changer. For me the Gleeo Time Tracker App worked well with me :)

I have learnt about how to measure my time spent in the day and how to not waste it and set specific goals with deadline and app to use to see how i am spending my time wisely or non productively.
By Justin Ouimet on 2/16/2018
Excellent presentation of powerful and useful content. Mark knows how to project enthusiasm!
By Stevenson Padmore on 1/11/2018
I believe that this is an essential course for time management for those who are not just in or learning/wanting to learn animation, but the practical advice carries over to anything you have dreams you want to fulfill in your life. Highly recommended. Great Job on this course!

This is very useful. I'm becoming aware of where I'm wasting time. It will also help me to not feel guilty at time when I need to say "no".
