3 Skillshare Classes to Instantly Boost Your Productivity
There’s no shortage of articles sharing tips and advice about how to be more productive. Good stuff, but every now and then we need a serious makeover in the productivity department – some concentrated instruction and time spent learning directly from experts who’ve been there. Experts who’ve solved problems like how to get more done, how to use time more wisely, or how to communicate effectively.
Enter our friends at Skillshare. Here’s where you’ll find comprehensive productivity advice and techniques in concise, inspiring and structured video lessons/classes that go well beyond an article or blog post. Skillshare empowers creators to pursue work they love, with “bite-sized” video classes on a variety of creative skills and topics. Better yet, they’re offering 3 months of free access to Freedom users before January!

The Skillshare platform provides personalized recommendations and community interaction along with a set of note-taking and video control tools that make it far more valuable than simply browsing topics on YouTube.
You’ll access Skillshare classes from the browser or their iOS or Android apps. With the apps, Skillshare is available offline so you can be anywhere without wifi or a phone connection and still have access to your classes.
Of course what really matters is the content, and this is what you won’t find anywhere else. Skillshare instructors are passionate and deeply knowledgeable about their topics. Their expertise is evident in their simple and easy-to-follow progression of the classes and the passion with which each class is taught. It’s easy to tell that the instructors really care about their topics and want you to benefit from what they have to say.
Here are 3 classes, all highly rated by thousands of students, that we love and think can really make a difference in your life.
