“I really loved the perspective on this time management course. It is one that I wasn’t expecting but that felt really freeing.
This is not your typical time management lesson you may be familiar with. 100% recommend it.”

“Extremely insightful and appealing to me in my current state of affairs. Before I signed up, I read some of Oliver's writings from his website and I was already impressed. I love the way he thinks. But I know it may not appeal to just about everyone. You need a certain amount of self-awareness and perhaps, like myself, to be in a place in your life where you have tried and tested most common "time management" systems and you have been left unsatisfied. Oliver actually addresses the 'pain points' In quite an eloquent way, with the same kind of appealing speech as his written word. Quite pleased I got his course. When I was browsing the Maestro courses, I was put off by the category "time management" until I read Oliver's bio and got curious about his written work, researched his writings and found that I loved them. He's a simple guy with profound insight in the matters he speaks of. At the same time, if you are looking for the usual time management advice, I think you should look elsewhere and only return to this course when you have reached a point of saying "now what?". If you want the bigger picture about time, this is the right course for you. Oliver will still offer practical tools and numerous examples that make his materials accessible and appealing, but he doesn't stop there. Impressed. I will listen to all lessons again and again as this is really a new way of thinking about time, and change in your life, and it is not the sort of thing that happens automatically, you need the right mindset. Highly recommended.”

“Long-winded made-up "facts" from OB. Perhaps he should read a book himself rather than writing on a subject he knows little about: "why am I such a big narcissist"? The Course felt like a waste of time. Why? He treats us to pseudo-facts like "Everybody knows that everyone is winging it all the time". Which in fact is an insult to anyone who has a degree and is using it in their professional lives. Save yourself some time: we have 4000 weeks to fill with meaningful activities and we should get out of our comfort zone to do that. First and last few minutes of the course.”

“While many time‑management courses promise greater output or more tasks checked off, Burkeman does something different: he invites you to rethink why you manage your time the way you do — what meaning, limits, and values are hidden in the way you schedule your life.”
