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

 paper "tags"Submitted by duus on August 2, 2007 - 2:09pm.
Maybe this is a no-brainer, but i make the point, of when an academic project has become a distinct thing, I give it a tag immediately. I find too often that people use strange tags--either the name of their co-authors (which is not useful if you're going to do multiple papers with them!) or the title (which is a bad idea, since the choice of title should be a strategic choice that summarizes the idea once it's been fully formed.) So short tags is the way to go: MiniAuction, WolfSheep, etc. » POSTED IN:
