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 fun.and I got all my work done by thursday and friday and had a free weekend. I learned so much in one day it was really nice to take in all the information and be able to put it to use.

PRACTICE ROOM (TUTORIALS)

CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)

LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)

• In the video I learned that we are holding so much stuff in are heads that it is almost impossible to get things done. We need to have a clear mind on that one thing and make a list so we do not forget what to do like call are friend a say happy birth day. because we have so much stuff going on in our head it is hard to process and remember the small things.

• I solved the problem of saying i’ll do it. later and I do not argue with my parents as much anymore
