¡Excelente! He reorganizado toda mi vida, por no decir mi cerebro, he podido ver muchas cosas, desde otra perspectiva. Puedo encauzar mi vida, tenerla mucho más organizada, no sentirme frustrada o decepcionada.
excelente
Maravilloso. Me encantan los cursos de Mònica.
Es un grandioso curso que me ayudó personalmente a mejorar mis hábitos a llevar un control mejor de mi vida de mis logros también de darme la Chance de descansar, ya no me siento culpable al descansar o bueno, al menos no no lo intento y creo que ese es un mejor avance al que está acostumbrada a tener, yo le agradezco a la docente por hacer un tan excelente trabajo
Estoy comenzando a trabajar por cuenta propia como community manager y creador de contenido. Me ayudó muchísimo clasificar las actividades que realizó en los 5 sombreros y asignarles un horario; también me fue muy útil el plan anual con objetivos. Además, me sentí comprendido al ver que los problemas que suelo tener con la gestión del tiempo no solo me ocurren a mí, y me alegra haber adquirido nuevas herramientas para mejorar. ¡Gracias, Moni! Tu curso realmente me sirvió.
