Video intros too long

Love the course — especially the outstanding forum interaction.

I agree — the intros are too long and it’s a good point.
Thought it was time to look on the lighter side of the issue…

Now hang on a minute…
I mean wait a second…
If I’m not mistaken, there are 41 videos to watch. That means suffering through 820 seconds or 13.67 minutes.
Are we ready for that level of commitment? :-)
Just think what we could do in 13 minutes…
When you’ve got a second, read this article —> "5 Positive things you can accomplish in 13 minutes" 
or you could save 90% of your time by following #3 of this —> "3 ways to save 738 seconds by skipping over the intros" (assuming each video will cost you 2 seconds instead of 20).
or…just read #3 below…

1. As soon as you open the video, click on the “+” speed control 4 times, wait a few seconds for the counter to get to 19 seconds, then click “-” 3 times (assuming you want to watch at normal speed.


2. As soon as the video opens, simply click the right arrow key on your keyboard twice.

3. (My favorite) As soon as the video opens, click-n-drag the play bar to 19 seconds.


We’re very lucky to have HTML5 videos with speed controls. Some MOOC courses don’t have the speed control - now that’s painful!
