Back to that precious commodity – time. How much of your valuable time will each video take? The lengths vary, but most of them are about an hour. The videos are broken up into multiple parts with each subsequent video providing more detail on the topic. They are not time-consuming and can be viewed at your leisure. It does not have to be a dreaded task. Grab a cup of coffee, slide on your slippers, and watch a video!
