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

I found Endnote to be very helpful when I was writing my thesis...the Cite while you Write feature was worth every penny. As far as organising my research, I was lucky in that most of my research was available in PDF form. I found it very helpful to have a (virtual) folder that had all my articles in it. I renamed the articles by author and year, since when they get downloaded to your HD they usually had some sort of esoteric alpha-numeric name that didn't make any sense to me. This way I was able to organise my bibliography folder the same way Endnote organised the information, and I could tell at a glance if I had all the data (articles) input into Endnote. When I was writing my literature review I was easily able to find the article and then use the cite feature of Endnote. Another cool thing Endnote does is format your bibliography when you are done. » POSTED IN:
