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

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.

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

  • I learned that to get things done you need to have a clear mind and only work on what your doing in the moment. also that if you do your best and buckle down and have a goal you can get a lot of work done on that day.
  • I solved the problem of saying i’ll do it. later and I do not argue with my parents as much anymore

WEEKLY ACTIVITY EVALUATION

  • this week was very interesting on how we learned that we need to have a clear mind to get things done.
