How to implement GTD for university students
Lilly252 | Jan 15 2006
Hello all, This weekend I took out seven HUGE trash bags out of my office after cleaning everything hidden in every corner. I had boxes that had never been unpacked from four moves ago that are GONE! What a liberating feeling! I don't have my tickler file set up, but have my someday/maybe and my "next actions" set up. The entire office is set up like a GTD Central Command. I had been using the Hipster last semester before life took a weird turn. Anyways.... the reason for my question is this... I'm a doctoral student, and as such I have weekly assignments for classes, papers for the semester, and some independent projects that I"m working on like grant proposals, etc. I keep wondering what the best way of keeping track of everything, and I can't come up with anything concrete, so I thought I'd consult with the experts on this board. Thanks! 61 Comments

This was a very thoughtful (and very timely, for me) post. Thanks for sharing the fruit of your musings on this. I'm a math prof, and I've been trying to put GTD into practice for about 9 months. Your comments make lots of sense. I need to think about them for a while, but I hope this discussion can continue. The GTD methodology seems immediately adaptable to what I do (little porting needed, I think), but it's taking me some effort to translate some of the abstract ideas in DA's book into my concrete context. So, again, thanks for sharing this. » POSTED IN:
