#OUREntrepidNetwork – Introducing David Allen, Mike Williams, Mark Wallace and Getting Things Done For Teens

A guidebook to help teens create a fruitful and effective future.

Getting Things Done, or GTD, is a system for getting organized and staying productive. The end goal is learning how to spend less time doing the things you have to do so you have more time for the things you want to do.

Put simply, GTD is a method for organizing your to-dos, priorities, and your schedule in a way that makes them all manageable. One of GTD’s biggest benefits is that it makes it easy to see what you have on your plate and choose what to work on next. It also has a strong emphasis on getting your to-dos out of your head and into a system you can refer to. This clears your mind of any mental distractions that will keep you from working efficiently.

Capture. Clarify. Organize. Reflect. Engage.

Getting Things Done for Teens offers a fresh take on David Allen’s classic by adapting it for the next generation. Framing life as a game to be played, it offers simple methods that teens can use to win.

SHARING GTD WITH KIDS & TEENS (Recorded Podcast) – Coaches Meg Edwards and Mike Williams share strategies, techniques, and insights for engaging kids and teens in GTD. They’ll weave in personal stories from their own experience as parents, and give practical exercises for bringing the power of GTD to young people in your life.

To find out more about GTD for Teens, to purchase a copy of the book, to enjoy the GTD for Teens podcasts collection and lots of other helpful stuff visit www.gtdforteens.com.

#OUREntrepidNetwork – Introducing Shari Eskenas and SoundBrake

Hear what you need to hear!

While you’re listening to headphones, you can be totally isolated from the world as you enjoy being immersed in your favorite music, podcast or audio book.

BUT…this means you will miss hearing important outside sounds like:

  • A person trying to get your attention
  • Someone at the door, package delivery
  • At work: announcements, phone calls, coworkers, the boss
  • At home: hearing family members or pets, something happening outside
  • At the airport: announcements in the terminal or on the plane
  • Outdoors: driver alerting you, car honk
  • Unexpected events

Meet SoundBrake 2.0 –

The world’s first device that gives your headphones the power to alert you to outside sounds while you’re immersed in your audio and tuned out from the world.

#OUREntrepidNetwork – Introducing Boyan Slat and The Ocean Cleanup

www.theoceancleanup.com

The Ocean Cleanup’s mission is to develop advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.

In their own words (source – https://www.linkedin.com/company/2836723/)

Boyan Slat is a Dutch inventor and entrepreneur creating technologies to solve societal problems. He is the founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, which develops advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. Boyan founded this effort when he was just 16 years old.

The main idea behind The Ocean Cleanup is to let the ocean currents do the work. An installation of Ushaped screens channels floating plastic to a central point. The concentrated plastic can then be extracted and shipped to shore for recycling into durable products. Our passive systems will remove half the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.

OUR Entrepid Network – Introducing Tim Ryan and His Very Personal Mission to Save Opiate Addicts

www.amirf.org

The U.S. is experiencing a heroin pandemic. Half of all heroin addicts die!

Drawing on personal experience, Tim Ryan was inspired to launch A Man in Recovery, whose mission is to save the lives of opiate addicts first, then provide new alternatives to keep addicts from relapsing.

Sentenced to seven years in prison, Tim Ryan got clean and sober behind bars. However, “life on the outside” wasn’t working in his favor. Tim was released from prison after just 14 months, yet his time there was enough to convince him to adopt a strong 12-step recovery program. But six months later, his 20-year-old son Nick died tragically from a heroin overdose. Attempting to get beyond the devastation and heartbreak, Tim used Nick’s death as the inspiration to spread a message of hope and recovery to others.

AMIR serves addicts and those whose lives they touch in new and effective ways.

See Dope Man on A&E (www.aetv.com/specials/dope-man), aired on July 31, 2017.

“Dope Man follows Tim Ryan, an ex-con and former addict … who lost his son to heroin and nearly died from it himself.” “Tim’s unforgiving in-your-face approach, as well as his commitment to placing people into meaningful long-term treatment, has singled him out nationally … as one of the most effective experts in his field”

See Tim’s passionate TEDxNaperville 2016 presentation titled the Heroin Denial Epidemic here – http://www.tedxnaperville.com/talks/tim-ryan/

To find out more about A Man in Recovery and how you can help support the cause to save the lives of those of your friends and family and community members addicted to heroin and others at risk of becoming exposed to its use, visit www.amirf.org

Thank you Tim for the benefit of your character and tenacity as a leader in this cause. Thank you Arthur Zards and the TEDxNaperville team for helping to introduce Tim to the wider community. #youkickassmyfriend s
