Helpful ideas! If I taught a study skills class this would be a basis for each of my students.
This book is about how to get your life together for teens. This book can be used to help you with life at home or school and more. It taught me how to control me life and make it easier. This book will help you when you reach the age where you start to lose your mind. It gave many good tips and advice for me to do and worked very well. It taught me to remind. myself to do my work and not to wait for the last second.
In many ways, this book is more accessible than the original. If you are a GTD fan or even familiar with the method and you're looking for ideas to help your teenagers get organized, I think this would be a good place to start. Of course, we'll see how it goes when I try to actually introduce it to my teenagers.
I checked this book out from the library on a whim to see if it could somehow help me focus for school. While the book itself obviously didn’t make my focus any better, it definitely provided some clarity and advice for how to handle things. This book is the e only self-help book that I’ve ever liked (even though I’ve only read like 2 before this one). The content is super simple but very helpful if your mind is cloudy. It’s advice on managing your life. It’s practical. I would go out and buy th...
I had tried to read the original GTD quite a few times, but really struggled to get through it. I just didn’t relate to the examples he was sharing, which seemed to mainly be targeted to middle-aged men that are CEOs and have a family. But I still really wanted to implement the methodology, so I kept trying. Until I found this beautiful little book!It simplified GTD into a way I could finally read and understand. The examples were more catered towards high schoolers, but I could deal with that.
If you are planning to get organized for the semester or think life is getting to you as a teen, then this is what you read. This gives you general but mainstream and gives good advice often talked about on the internet by productivity YouTubers, bloggers, and influencers. Some even refer to this method and the original Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity as the "Bible of productivity" so do what you need to with that information. The illustrations that further prove the poi...
There are many distractions when it comes to daily living, such as a phone alert. People's digital habits are constantly distracting them, having a negative effect. There are also times where people feel heavily stressed. To properly handle these feelings, the reader can start with the 5 steps. The first part of the 5 steps is to capture stuff. People can use the bucket method, where you capture all your tasks and thoughts for later. The second step is to clarify. To clarify means to decide with...
In the book Getting Things Done for Teens: Take Control of Your Life in a Distracting World, it takes you through the life of a teenager and the struggles they face. Not only does it talk about mental health, but it tells me how too improve mine. One of my main take aways from this book is a "Mental Mind Sweep". Your life is filled to the maximum with this thing called "stuff". And one way to clear that stuff, is to do a mental mind sweep. Getting Things done for Teens has done nothing to improv...
I can't review the effectiveness of a system I haven't tried yet, but I can review the book itself. This book had everything I wanted out of an introduction to the GTD system without all the stuff I'd heard about the original and updated books, namely outrageous complexity, Russian nesting dolls of systems within systems, and drrrrryyyyy writing. Instead I got a couple of compelling chapters that made the case for the system and then an explanation of how GTD works in theory and practice. It's s...
