“Burkeman was familiar to me from his books which I loved. So thought I’d try this and it’s enormously useful to me-the ideas are great and well delivered. He is an excellent resource and brings in wonderful and useful insights from others.”

“Thanks Oliver for a practical , pragmatic and well researched series of discussions.
I had many ‘aha moments’ during this course, especially when looking at the number of rocks I have been trying to squeeze in the jar.
This course was fun, enlightening and quite freeing, which I think were the intentions, so great job. Thank you!”

“Engaging and interesting course. Though I didn't learn specific ways of managing time, per se, I did get an interesting perspective shift and found the course enlightening and thought provoking. There are a few lessons that are worth a regular re-watch and that I think were extremely interesting on how our brains work and the sad way our world works. Enjoyed the course.”

“Oliver Burkeman very clearly articulates how I imagine a lot of us feel about time (like there's too much to do and not enough time to do it all in), and very practical ways to combat this and feel liberated. Oliver says himself that not all lessons within the course will be relevant to you, which I did find, however I was able to apply the majority to my own life and experiences. I primarily undertook this course to be able to manage my time better at work with a goal to reduce my stress, increase my productivity and ultimately get more done in a single day. Funnily enough, the main takeaway I've had from this course is to do less in a single day, and that somehow doesn't feel scary, it makes perfect sense. I've realised the two things I thought I wanted to achieve were actually conflicting; 1. do more in the day and feel like I'm making big progress every day; 2. slow down and feel more peaceful. I've also been able to apply principles of this course to relationships completely unrelated to work. I'd absolutely recommend this course - it doesn't teach you how to reorganise your to-do list line-by-line if that's what you're looking for (although there are practical tips included with examples on getting through tasks in your day/a given time period). It does teach you how to not put so much pressure on yourself to get through absolutely everything, how to not put so much importance on every decision we need to make, how to use your time less 'productively' in some cases and why this is important (pure-leisure hobbies), and to be more present and not tie a future goal to everything we do in the present moment. Thank you, Oliver!”
