About the book

An adaptation of the business classic Getting Things Done for teenage readers

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 this 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.

    Gut gemeint, schlecht gemacht 😔

    David Allen möchte das Prinzip von Getting Things Done (GTD) für eine junge Zielgruppe wie Schüler und Studierende zugänglich machen. Zwar gelingt es dem Buch, die Grundprinzipien der Methode in vereinfachter Sprache darzustellen, doch bleibt es inhaltlich und stilistisch hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Die Ansprache wirkt wenig zeitgemäß, digitale Tools – zentral im Alltag junger Menschen – werden kaum thematisiert, und lebensnahe Beispiele fehlen weitgehend. Statt jugendlicher Leichtigkeit und praxisnaher Szenarien präsentiert sich das Buch eher wie eine verkürzte Version des Originals. So bleibt das Potenzial, jungen Menschen wirklich beim Selbstmanagement zu helfen, leider ungenutzt. Insgesamt ein Ansatz mit guter Intention, aber schwacher Umsetzung.
