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

Oops, I forgot one: 12. I have found that a great way to segment up your own work and thoughts it to print things out and to really use drafts. For examlpe, I have a "teaching document" that I use as a repository for ideas and strategies in my teaching. Rather than make a loose collection of notes, I chose to make an "actual" document, with contents, structure, reusable writing, and so on. I print it out and keep it in a folder. Every now and then I revise it, and print out a new draft to replace the old one. It says something like "Draft 6" and the date on the front page. The previous drafts are on my computer. This way, I don't have to refer to the computer, I always have a finished document on hand, and I'm adding to it and taking notes in an organized, meaningful fashion. » POSTED IN:
