Using GTD to get through the curriculum.
Christian Knappskog | Dec 31 2007
Hi I've successfully implemented GTD, but am having issues translating my reading shedule into any actionable form. GTD works great on chores and projects, but somehow become hard to tick of as complete when they all say "read page 10-20 in book A." Studying Psychology we are basically only required to sign a paper at the beginning of the term, and show up for the exams at the end of the term. Which means the usual midterm goals or motivations are all absent. It's just the student, the non-compulsory lectures and his/her books. I'm interested in hearing how you translate your curriculum into actions, what words you use, contexts and so forth. (I'm using OmniFocus) 3 Comments

 Page number actionsSubmitted by augmentedfourth on December 31, 2007 - 6:09pm.
I'm not a student, but I use GTD all the time to remind me to read. However, I didn't find that putting page numbers in my Actions worked very well. Instead, I just have an Action of "Read 'On Intelligence'" and leave it at that. Granted, I'm reading for pleasure and I'm not under a deadline, but if you want to read a specific page count it might be best to include that as part of a Weekly Review rather than putting it right on your Next Actions. » POSTED IN:
