 Hi Merlin. I don't know...Submitted by Trev (not verified) on March 14, 2007 - 11:16am.
Hi Merlin. I don't know whether you have kids or not, but, no matter how hard I try to get my teenage son 'organized', he remains more committed to his own agenda. He's had plenty of advice from people at school, too. I'm telling you, planners, to do lists, calendars, moleskins, hipster PDAs, GTD aren't on his priority list at the moment. My daughter, on the other hand, gets on with her homework as soon as she gets in from school, and will probably fill her middle-school planner (when she gets a bit older) with lots of beautiful lists of things to do. I wasn't trying to be 'cool' or 'folksy'; I just think it's completely out of touch to believe that 'a good dose of gtd' will end cramming and late assignments. Yup, entering the adult world of commitments, mortgages, work, marriage and kids can be tough, and learning to juggle these commitments is even harder. I guess we learn what we need to learn when we need to learn it. » POSTED IN:
