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.
