Teens are overwhelmed, partly because they don’t yet have the skills to manage the unprecedented amount of stuff that enters their brains each day. – from LifeHacker.com
“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.”
“You can do anything, but not everything.”

CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)
You are going to learn to develop your own version of David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) process in this ‘room.’
- The first step to getting anything done is knowing what you need to do. Writing down the tasks that you need to complete and having that list available when you need it is absolutely necessary. Once you know what you have to do, doing it becomes much easier, because you mind won’t wander on other things that you need to be doing. There are many ways of doing this, but the most important thing is finding a method that works for you.

GTD-based Trusted System
Paper and pen or pencil is what I use because I can constantly have it physically in front of me, and can take it with me if I want. I don’t think a GTD system using my phone or computer would work for me, because that would mean my GTD system is within something else, and not its own dedicated object. I specifically use notecards, as I have a stack of hundreds of blank notecards on my desk, making it very accessible.
