Hi Taylor,

I just wanted to say that I found this course really valuable and I learned a lot from it!

I am an online English teacher, working about 4 hours a day, and so I do have more time than the average person. However, I have a lot of athletic goals (I am a dancer and a rock climber), creative goals (I am an amateur photographer, hoping to be less amateur in the future!), and professional goals (I am hoping to become an online freelancer and move to Thailand in the next year or so). But I find that I am not spending the time needed to work towards these goals, despite having a much less hectic work schedule than most. This is why I was interested in taking your course!

I am trying to put into effect most of the tips that you mentioned in the course. My Final Project includes the following attachments: an Activity Log, done on Friday, March 16th, of how I spent my entire day from start to finish (two pages in total) and the answers to the three questions you asked above (three pages in total). For some reason, I am not able to upload these files as documents, so I had to save them as PDF files and then as JPEG photos. Please let me know if you have any issues opening the files! 

My general thoughts: I was surprised with how much time was being wasted (or, at least not spent in a way that was productive) in my average day. I was also surprised at how long simple tasks seemed to take, and how often I was being interrupted (or interrupting myself!).

I would love your feedback on my Final Project and your tips for other ways that you think I can be more productive overall. I will definitely take more of your courses in the future, as I found this one really eye-opening and insightful.

Thanks again, Taylor!
