USD 475 WINFest '26

This session, based on David Allen’s “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity,” introduces the GTD system as a practical way for K–12 educators to reduce stress and stay focused on what matters most for students. Participants learn to use the five GTD steps—Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, and Engage—with simple tools and weekly habits so “open loops” move into trusted systems instead of being carried mentally, supporting wellbeing and a culture of reliability across the school. The session offers concrete solutions to universal challenges—unfinished tasks, frequent interruptions, and competing priorities—in both elementary and secondary settings.
