'As a GTD devotee for nearly two decades, I know how these principles have transformed my own work life. So I'm thrilled that David Allen is bringing his brilliance to the most important audience of all: Our young people. Today's teenagers face a tsunami of distractions and pressures. This practical and powerful book will ease their stress and focus their minds in ways that will last a lifetime' - Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When and Drive

'If you learn these techniques, they'll pay off for decades' - Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit

The most interconnected generation in history is navigating unimaginable amounts of social pressure, both in personal and online interactions. Very little time, focus or education is being spent teaching and coaching this generation how to navigate the unprecedented amount of 'stuff' entering their lives each day. How do we help the overloaded and distracted next generation deal with increasing complexity and help them not only survive, but thrive? How do we help them experience stress-free productivity and gain momentum and confidence? How do we help them achieve autonomy, so that they can confidently take on whatever comes their way?

Getting Things Done for Teens will train the next generation to overcome these obstacles and flourish by coaching them to use the internationally renowned Getting Things Done methodology. In its two editions, David Allen's classic has been translated into dozens of languages and sold over a million copies, establishing itself as one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. Getting Things Done for Teens will adapt its lessons by offering a fresh take on the GTD methodology, framing life as a game to play and GTD as the game pieces and strategies to play your most effective game. It presents GTD in a highly visual way and frames the methodology as not only as a system for being productive in school, but as a set of tools for everyday life.

Getting Things Done for Teens is the how-to manual for the next generation - a strategic guidebook for creating the conditions for a fruitful and effective future.

Sua mente deve estar livre para criar, e não preocupada em reter informações. Foi com esse argumento que David Allen criou o método GTD – Getting Things Done: um sistema de gestão que tem ajudado inúmeras pessoas e empresas a colocar ordem no caos.

Considerado a principal autoridade no campo da produtividade, Allen trabalhou com os melhores e mais brilhantes talentos do mundo defendendo a teoria de manter "a mente clara como água" e abordando o equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional.

Depois de 30 anos de pesquisa e prática, lançou A arte de fazer acontecer, um best-seller internacional publicado em 28 idiomas que se tornou uma verdadeira referência em organização pessoal. Nesta nova edição, revisada e atualizada, David Allen insere as novas tecnologias na gestão do fluxo de trabalho e inclui as descobertas mais recentes da ciência cognitiva.

• Reavaliar as metas e manter o foco

• Planejar projetos de longo prazo e revisá-los semanalmente

• Controlar a ansiedade e a sobrecarga de trabalho

• Aceitar que você não pode fazer tudo ao mesmo tempo e que algumas coisas podem ficar para depois

Com técnicas revolucionárias, este livro oferece uma nova maneira de trabalhar: com mais foco, mais produtividade e menos estresse.

Eigentlich sollte man längst bei einem Termin sein, doch dann klingelt das Handy und das E-Mail-Postfach quillt auch schon wieder über. Für Sport und Erholung bleibt immer weniger Zeit und am Ende resigniert man ausgebrannt, unproduktiv und völlig gestresst. Doch das muss nicht sein. Denn je entspannter wir sind, desto kreativer und produktiver werden wir. Mit David Allens einfacher und anwendungsorientierter Methode wird beides wieder möglich: effizient zu arbeiten und die Freude am Leben zurückzugewinnen.

This unique book presents a nontechnical view of the history of mechanics, from the Big Bang to present day. The impact of mechanics on the evolution of a variety of subjects is vividly illustrated, including astronomy, geology, astrophysics, anthropology, archeology, ancient history, Renaissance art, music, meteorology, modern structural engineering, mathematics, medicine, warfare, and sports. While enormous in scope, the subject matter is covered (with ample photographic support) at a level designed to capture the interest of both the learned and the curious. The book concludes with a creative and thoughtful examination of the current state of mechanics and possibilities for the future of mechanics.
