Work Smarter, Not Harder: Time Management for Personal & Professional Productivity

What the course is about

This beginner Coursera course is built around a common problem: too much to do and too little time to do it. It looks at time management in both personal and professional settings, with attention to how you set goals, rank competing tasks, schedule your time and hand work to others.

Who it is for

Project managers and administrative assistants are named as the core audience, but the material suits anyone whose calendar feels out of control. It is a sensible starting point before more specialized productivity or project management training.

Skills on the syllabus

• Scheduling and calendar management
• Prioritization and delegation
• Productivity software and everyday planning habits
• Communication strategies and crisis management

The skills list points to a practical course that sits close to daily tools, rather than a purely theoretical treatment of productivity.
