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

These are some excellent comments and observations, and really clarified for me why, for example, I am online researching better uses for GTD in my academic work, rather than reading the large pile of journal articles I have accumulated ;) One thought that has come out of my research is the need to associated my reading with a project of some sort. So I have created: None of these are specific projects. I have other projects for those such as Thus the topics I am interested in and may use for something later, including potentially looking at existing data, get their own projects with a LOT of reading tasks usually, whereas specific research projects in process with more details and defined deliverables go into a separate item. Where I am struggling right now is where to put all the background reading for my comprehensive exams. They aren't REALLY look into's and there is a defined outcome (take comprehensive exams in December).... » POSTED IN:
