How to put things in order - at school and not only

The "adult" book by David Allen about the GDT methodology (Getting Things Done, or "How to put things in order") made a large splash and was translated into 15 languages. In a book adapted for adolescents, the author talks about the same methodology for managing the time and increasing personal efficiency, but with an aim at school age.
Today, adolescents are the first generation in the history of mankind, which has grown in a "connected" world with the Internet and communication in non -stop mode. They, as anyone else, need to “unload” their brain, free it from unnecessary work and learn to cope with the flows of new information and routine affairs. Stress pursues the younger generation literally at every step: at school, at home and among peers. Recently, cases of teenage depression have become more frequent.
Understanding this, David Allen and his co -authors - experts in working with adolescents - modernized the GTD technique so that it reflects precisely the difficulties and situations that teenagers face.

When the brain stops holding this data, it will stop worrying and will be able to concentrate on the direct performance of these tasks.
