Getting Things Done for Teens

by David Allen, Mike Williams and Mark Wallace

GTD adapted for adolescents: capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage, told through comics and examples from school and life. It simplifies without dumbing down and is one of the few real productivity systems written for this age.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Get it out of your head and into a trusted place.
  2. Decide the next action for each item.
  3. Review the lists weekly.

Do this first

Help your teen do a full capture of everything on their mind onto one list.

Our verdict

Real GTD for teens.
