Time Is Essential: Fundamentals of Team Productivity Course Reviews & Provider Details

Our team is fully remote and consists of many part-time collegiate team members (some new to the team) - all with very busy schedules. We wanted to try something new for onboarding team members more effectively. Time Is Essential was able to help our team members find commonality in wanting to be more productive and made it easier for everyone to work together. As the manager of the team, knowing that everyone wanted to be more productive and better at time management was helpful especially for leading the part-time team members. The Mana app gave the right insights into our team's time spent without feeling intrusive. We were able to have more open conversations about time spent and expectations.

The facilitated discussions during every course session were a great environment for new team members to explore their time mindfulness, any challenges to their current time management system, and find ways to better incorporate the responsibilities of their new role into their lives.

When I was working on building tutor train content as the PeerSquared learning designer, I would take a few moments to realistically asses how long each task would take and regularly scheduled time in my calendar to devote to those tasks, so I would complete them by the deadline. I also learned to separate more urgent tasks from less pressing tasks and work accordingly, so I was a more efficient worker who prioritized correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciated the emphasis Mana put on self-care and mindfulness. Before Mana, I was struggling to have a well balanced life that balanced work, school, eating, sleeping, and entertainment. My Mana coach, Sabrina Cadini, told me that I wasn't alone in my struggle to achieve balance and provided me with key pieces of advice to carve out much-needed time for myself.

This course encouraged me to take a hard look at how I utilize my time, an objective look. Working with the Mana coaches and sitting through the courses helped me identify area's where I personally could improve on my time management and create more focused work. It also was very helpful in utilizing free time to take "ideas" and goals, and turn them into actionable steps scheduled out to actually complete these lofty ideas Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Time is Essential course allowed me to do a deep dive into analyzing my habits, practicing mindfulness, and increasing my productivity. The five sessions allowed me to be aware of my work and reflect on changes I might make to improve my career and my work-life balance. It was a fantastic professional development opportunity. Omar was a great teacher and facilitator, and the personalized sessions with Sabrina were invaluable. Even amidst a long year of Zoom meetings, the Time is Essential sessions were fun and engaging. I was able to apply some of the lessons I learned to my own work life and can already see a difference! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoyed the live sessions and group discussion, as well as the individual sessions with a coach. This allowed me to dive deeper into professional development than a typical hour-long session with a speaker. The content was well-planned, with different themes to focus on for each week.

My objective in taking this course was to carve out time to focus on building technical marketing collateral and demo-ware for my day job while also completing a small carpentry project to help with home and garden organization. Both required breaking down large multi-hour projects into single-hour tasks spread amongst the regular chores in my jam-packed days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The concepts and tips that make up the core of the course were very insightful, and the instructors did an excellent job of tying the abstract theories around time mindfulness and wellness to the objective data sets that can be collected in the Mana time tracking app. I had been using the app for quite some time, but taking the course gave me a better appreciation for the importance of specific goals and periodic reviews of progress towards those goals relative to how I allocate my time.

The coaches were instructive and gave great examples of being able to implement this in my professional life.

I was very impressed with this course; it was well-organized, engaging, and was very educational. I consider myself an organized person without time management issues but was excited to learn how to manage time and stress even better. This course taught me many different methods to improve productivity, self-organization, and mental wellbeing that I did not know existed. After this course I feel that I can tackle more significant challenges with more ease, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in self-improvement.

The material was fascinating and highly educational, and the teacher was great! The small group activities with other participants also kept the course engaging, and it was interesting to learn from their struggles and solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've struggled in the past with taking an all or nothing approach to projects, often to the detriment of other responsibilities. During Time is Essential, I learned steps for better managing my time using the Mana app, data, mindfulness, and a renewed commitment to goal setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The course allowed for attendees to work in small groups with an instructor. I found these small group sessions enlightening. The instructors (who were wonderful as well) would break the ice with an experience of their own before asking the attendees to share. I appreciated this because it kind of set the tone for these sessions and created an open environment for sharing personal experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
