Film – Week 10 – GTD – Getting Things Done – Part 2

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.”

― David Allen, (GTD) Getting Things Done for Teens: Take Control of Your Life in a Distracting World

SUMMARY

This week was my birthday. I was very very grateful for making to 15 and everyone wishing a happy birthday. Also the present. I got much of my homework done.

CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)

The GTD process will be helpful personally so I don’t forget about assignments. I will be using a GTD system from now on. I am for now going to be using Trello as my GTD system.

STUDIO (CREATING MAPS)

• David Allen steps summarized
  • “Very simple folks! …
    1. Just WRITE STUFF DOWN
    2. Decide the ACTIONS and OUTCOMES embedded in them
    3. Get yourself a MAP OF ALL THAT so you can step back and take a look at it.
    4. And then, basically, you USE THE MAP TO DECIDE, “OK, here’s the course that we’re going to go on.”
    5. You then LAUNCH the ‘ship’ on a trusted course in the short term, as well as on the long horizon that you’re moving on.
    6. And then, on a regular basis, you need to REASSESS, “OK, we need to take in NEW DATA, CLEANUP, RECALIBRATE, and REFOCUS for the next leg of the journey.”

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

What I learned is what a GTD system is. The GTD system is when I start to implant it to remind me about assignments I haven’t finished yet.
