Contexts for academia
RM66 | Sep 18 2007
What contexts do folks involved in academia find work well? I divided my contexts into "Need brain" and "Don't need brain", but my "Need brain" group seems to need some additional granularity, but I can't quite figure out of what sort. I've been considering a context that is basically "need at least an hour of uninterrupted time"--but it's rare for that context to actually arise when the term is in session. Anyway, I was just curious what other people who are academics do in terms of contexts. (I have searched the forums and found some answers, but not quite the answer as to what people find works well) Thanks 14 Comments

 An academic librarian's take on GTDSubmitted by jingo74 on September 25, 2007 - 10:50am.
I've been slowly adopting elements of GTD for about a year now. And I also use 37 Signal's Backpack for organizing my notes, thoughts, ideas, etc. I often use the writeboards in Backpack to store notes from all the committees I'm on. So I usually give a writeboard a name like 'committees-library site re-design.' I do a similar naming convention for research, projects, etc. Being in academics, assigning contexts can be tough. I'm on-campus more than 40 hrs. per week and spend most of my time in one building-the library. My colleagues in English are on-campus only 20 hrs. per week, so 'on-campus' or '@library' are much more relevant contexts for them. This is a good thread and I've learned a few things reading it. Good ideas, everyone! » POSTED IN:
