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

 Backup for Dissertation FilesSubmitted by CharlotteLouise on January 18, 2006 - 11:05am.
I believe and hope so -- he's a former IT manager. My diss was on 3 1/2 disks (ok, it was in the Dark Ages, ca. 1999-2000). Each disk, and the little carrying case, has a large label in [="Red"]bright red letters[/], offering a $100 reward for return. There was a copy on two computers' hard drives, each of which was in a different place. I emailed a copy to myself at both my home and university email addresses. Any major revisions merited a printed copy. My chair had a copy in his email. Towards the end, I was compulsively emailing backups to people from California to Florida and points in between. On the other hand, another frend of mine did lose his diss text file (not data, fortunately) to a virus; he retyped from the hard copy, and found that he was able to improve it considerably in the process. There was some weird reason he couldn't scan the paper, I can't recall what. kristin » POSTED IN:
