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

 Here's my set upSubmitted by sfrick on February 15, 2006 - 8:03am.
I have a tablet and a desktop PC. I use MindManager and the Add In Result Manager implementing GTD templates. I do everything from there and it works fantastically once you get going. I also have OpticBook Scanner and Acrobat 7.0. I scan all my books to PDF and using Acrobat make the text searchable. I then break up my books into chapters which I create links to in Mindmanger. From MM I can set up my task, take notes, organize, and on and on. Then using the Result Manager Add-In GTD I have templates that provide all kinds of feed back. MM lets me take all my Outlook emails and with the click of a button impport into MM where there I take action. » POSTED IN:
