Your toughest work is defining what your work is! – Peter Drucker

STEP 3: SET A TIMER
- Set a timer for your first task
- Decide how long you think it will take before you start
- Start working
- Repeat this process for 45 minutes for as many tasks as you can complete, then take a 15-minute break
- Get up and get a drink of water
- Get up and go for a walk
- Every 20 minute blink your eyes 20 times while looking at least 20 feet away
- This is good for your eyes
Start steps 1 through 3 again, repeat for your school day
OUTSIDE (PRODUCTIVITY & THE BRAIN)
- Set a timer
- Spend up to 20 minutes in this ‘room’
- Watch the first 30 seconds of this Oct. 2020 interview with David Allen
- Reflect on GTD and getting to the top of the colorful list above for a minute
- How can the GTD process help you tame the crazy-busy dragon of modern life?
I think the GTD process can tame your busy life because it helps break things down into chunks so it’s not so overwhelming. When you get things done on time then you can get to the top of the chart because you can be happy that it’s over and it’s on time. If you don’t get things done on time then you will be at the bottom of the chart because you didn’t get a good grade, which is making you upset and sad.
OPTIONAL EXERCISE – Literally, read the article and go for another walk 🙂

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
I learned how to be more productive and to break up my work into chunks so that it’s not so overwhelming. A problem I solved was, by making that list of assignments, I got my work done so much quicker.
