Teens are overwhelmed, partly because they don’t yet have the skills to manage the unprecedented amount of stuff that enters their brains each day. – from LifeHacker.com
“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.”
“You can do anything, but not everything.”
― David Allen, (GTD) Getting Things Done for Teens: Take Control of Your Life in a Distracting World
SUMMARY
- I worked on catching up in Geometry and Biology. Now I only have a few assignments until I’m all caught up.
PlayCanvas – Javascript
- I completed up to the Mathematical Operators lesson.
CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)
- I learned that having a system of getting things done can help you, well, get things done. Timers can help in getting these things done, but I find it only makes me focus on how much time I left.

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
- I learned that if I take some time out of my day to take a walk and enjoy time with friends, that will get me more in the mood for doing my work. Even though I get sidetracked sometimes, it’s better than being completely focused on work all the time and being unhappy.
