Kenneth Schlenker, CEO of Opal sat down down with David Allen, the legendary productivity expert and author of the international bestseller Getting Things Done, to explore what focus and productivity mean in the digital age.
For over two decades, David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) method has transformed how millions of people organise their work and lives, helping them reduce stress, increase clarity, and find calm productivity in a world of constant distractions. In this exclusive interview with Kenneth, we dive into the timeless principles of GTD and how they apply to our modern, tech-driven world.
Together, they discuss how to maintain focus, build better habits, and create mental space amid digital overwhelm. From practical strategies for task management and workflow organisation to reflections on digital wellness, this conversation bridges classic productivity wisdom with the realities of today’s notification-saturated world.
Opal for Schools is tackling one of the hardest challenges in education today: phones in the classroom.
Opal CEO Kenneth Schlenker sat down with Ari Engelberg, Head of Communications & Strategic Initiatives at Harvard-Westlake School, the first school to partner with Opal for Schools.
They discuss the challenge of phone bans, the real impact of mobile devices on student focus, and how Opal is helping schools create digital balance, without taking away their freedom.
