¡Ahora lo entiendo mucho mejor, todo está mucho más claro para mí! Gracias, Mónica, por compartir con tanta generosidad tus conocimientos. Has hecho un gran cambio en mi forma de comprender las cosas y te lo agradezco de corazón. Sin duda, seguiré inscribiéndome en tus cursos. ¡Nos vemos en el siguiente!
El curso me pareció un buen punto de partida para personas creativas que quieren organizarse y empezar a crear rutinas más claras. Creo que una oportunidad muy valiosa sería desarrollar una versión pensado para personas neurodivergentes, especialmente con TDAH o TDA, ya que la gestión del tiempo puede vivirse de manera muy distinta en esos casos. Incluir estrategias más específicas para distintos estilos de atención, energía y motivación haría que el curso fuera todavía más inclusivo y útil.
Me aporto muchos recursos para suministrar mi tiempo, muchas gracias Mónica.
Agradezco a Mónica por compartir sus conocimientos con tanta pasión y por motivarme a seguir aprendiendo y creciendo cada día. He aprendido mucho. Gracias Mónica, te he sentido como familia.
