There is a lot of extra meaningful material one can gain from reading this after initially reading GTD. For a student reading this first I can see it as helpful, but it takes a while for the message to resonate and I can see someone getting bored right away before they realize how helpful it could be.

written in a way too simple way that made me question whether he was talking to a teenager or to a grade schooler,, nevertheless, valuable tips! (esp the 2-minute rule)

Though its target audience is teens, I found this version more in line with my own productivity needs as I don't work in the corporate world. Additionally, I found this version, with its numerous visuals, highly approachable and easy to implement in the real world.

If you are planning to get organized for the semester or think life is getting to you as a teen, then this is what you read. This gives you general but mainstream and gives good advice often talked about on the internet by productivity YouTubers, bloggers, and influencers. Some even refer to this method and the original [b:Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity|1633|Getting Things Done The Art of Stress-Free Productivity|David Allen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1312474060l/1633._SX50_.jpg|5759] as the "Bible of productivity" so do what you need to with that information. The illustrations that further prove the points made are quite fantastic and overall, I had a fun time reading this.
Ps: If you do end up reading this and decided to try out the GTD system for yourself, I cannot recommend NOTION enough which is a planning, database, and note-taking app free for personal use and I personally have been using it for my school notes for about and a year. And for personal management for some months now. (Not sponsored btw)

I can't review the effectiveness of a system I haven't tried yet, but I can review the book itself. This book had everything I wanted out of an introduction to the GTD system without all the stuff I'd heard about the original and updated books, namely outrageous complexity, Russian nesting dolls of systems within systems, and drrrrryyyyy writing. Instead I got a couple of compelling chapters that made the case for the system and then an explanation of how GTD works in theory and practice. It's still complicated! I immediately restarted the audiobook once I finished it, this time with a notebook and pen. But it's manageable, and it's justified why I should try it.
I've read reviews stating that the pictures, especially charts, are helpful and clearer than those in the other GTD books. I can't speak to that as an audiobook listener, but I can say that the narrator was excellent. Much of my actual pleasure in listening to this was from his delivery of the material.

This seems like it would be a good system to put into place. I plan on taking a few things from this book but not everything. It would take so much time to reorganize my whole life and I'd probably drop it after a few days/weeks anyway. That said, I'm proud of me! It's the first non-fiction I've read cover-to-cover in a long time
