Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
2,210 productivity tools in one course, including 1,451 ready-to-use files, templates, checklists and scripts, 33 services and apps shown on screen and 527 models and methods.
Open a lecture, take the tool, use it to plan tomorrow, run this week's meeting or clear your backlog.
Why knowing the methods does not help
Most people have heard of GTD, Pomodoro and SMART goals. They still end the week behind. A method explained is not a method used: there is no template on the desk on Monday morning, no rule for what to do with an incoming request, no agenda that ends a meeting on time. And for a manager the problem doubles, because the team's time leaks the same way.
What changes after this course
Each method arrives as a working format. A planning procedure for goals and tasks. A board for today, tomorrow and someday. Timeboxes for focus. Techniques for the moment you cannot start. Then the same for a team: agendas, written decisions, response windows, handoffs across time zones, delegation checklists and one-on-one scripts. You stop collecting methods and start running a system.
What is inside: 2,405 tools, counted file by file
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.

- 29 formulas and metric sets: response deadline calculation, process bottleneck metrics, executive function KPIs

- 33 services and apps shown on screen, from a quick look to a detailed demo: PeopleForce, Asana, Jira, Miro, Notion

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
My time management practice includes planning a complex survey report backward from the finished result. I had responses from 2,000 employees to 100 questions, and initially considered starting by sorting the data. Instead, I stopped to picture what the report should contain, then worked backward to determine how to process the answers. That experience gives a concrete foundation for the planning tools I share in this course.
How to use the course
Start with the four core sections: personal time management first, then asynchronous work. After that, treat the rest as a reference library. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name, so you can find the right tool without watching everything in order.
What is included
- 354 lectures across 46 sections, 189 hours
- 384 downloadable resources: lecture presentations and working files
- 2,405 tools across the lessons, ready to use in your own work
- Lifetime access to all materials
- Active instructor support in the Q&A section
- A Udemy Certificate of Completion
Where to start
Tonight, take the planning procedure from the first section and plan tomorrow with it: three results, timeboxed, with one task you have been avoiding first. People who plan with a system get the important work done before the urgent arrives, and every unplanned week is a week someone else's priorities filled. Enrol now and start your first lesson today.
Who this course is for:
- Professionals who finish the day with the important work still undone and want a system instead of willpower
