The Key to Productivity

I really like David Allen's book Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. He is described as a productivity guru. But even David Allen won't be able to compete with these elementary school kids in India:

A school in India is reportedly teaching its students to use both their hands to write on different subjects simultaneously All 72 pupils of the Veena Vadini School at Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh use both their hands “with equal ease”, reports Asian News International. The school set up in 1999, for children aged between four and eight, holds its classes outdoors. Principal Virangat Sharma said: "All the children here can write on different subjects and in different languages. "Not just that, these children can use both their hands to write in two different languages on two different subjects at the same time." One student, Kamla, said: "I know six languages - Hindi, Urdu, English, Roman, Sanskrit and Arabic. I can write in two languages at one time."
