GTD at USC...
Just got an email from an instructor at USC. It's always a delight to hear about GTD getting into the education system, in whatever form...
"I've used your system now for about 4 years and it's been a tremendous benefit personally and to all I work with, train, lead, etc. I work with various leadership training projects and refer your books often. Also, I teach a leadership class here in Los Angeles at USC advised by Warren Bennis. Your system is credited and included as part of one of the components of a key class here (The Art of Follow Through: Maximizing Your Personal Productivity)- students love it and I'm sure its increased your book sales quite a bit. ...Your tips and insights have had such a powerful impact on my personal performance and as a result on the various groups I lead and on my family. I have more time to do the things that matter and I can do them with more peace and creativity (I'm celebrating my 10 year anniversary this month and we have 2 little girls) Thank you for your diligence and work!" - Andy Roller, CEO - Leader-Source Foundation

Great news, David! As a college student myself I can certainly see how much GTD is needed in universities. Just a few weeks ago I gave a copy of GTD to a frazzled professor who is now writing things down for the first time in his life. Both students and instructors really need these skills nowadays.

That is good news. As a graduate student who has student, teaching, thesis, graduate research assistant, and regular job responsibilities, not to mention a wife, two kids, a mother-in-law, a dog and a cat at home, I am currenty working to implement the GTD system. I am currenty in the "patience" stage. :)
***** I would really love to find tips for higher education usage, as far as scheduling reading days, getting books, chapters, papers, into the review/read bucket, class planning (whether as student or teacher), etc. *****

I have been toying with GTD for a while now, after being introduced to it through macdevcenter.com and 43Folders. As a new graduate student, I would also appreciate some guide or discussion to the specific implementation of GTD to a student's life.
