Student/Academic Filing Question
caseykoons | Apr 29 2006
Congratulations to you all, especially those of you who responded to my post in the "I'm new" forum. I took your advice and borrowed a copy of GTD from my local library, and I am beginning to try to implement in my life. I've asked a few questions surrounding GTD and the academic lifestyle on this board and I have another one. I'm curious about filing systems. I know that David Allen suggests an A-Z and warns that personal systems are dangerous. The vast majority of the things I save for "reference" are photocopies of journal articles and books related to my field, the History of Religions. I especially curious about the opinions of other graduate students in this matter. Should I have a separate file (by topic or by author) for my academic resources or should I through them in an A-Z general file with my owner's manuals, bank statements and newspaper clippings? Thanks for your help. 24 Comments

Any thoughts on note-taking? Personally, I don't like the idea of mixing my notes up with other stuff in gmail. I suppose once they were tagged they wouldn't really be mixed up with everything, but I also don't like the idea of being locked into gmail. If I were going to go the route of keeping notes online I would probably use Backpack. One of the cool things about their service is that you can email things to pages you have on there. As it is I either type notes or take them by hand depending on my mood, but the end goal is to import those notes into their respective entries in Endnote. » POSTED IN:
