    Definitely varies from one user to another

    Oogie, your examples often make me laugh, but this one is really memorable. I'm trying to visualize you with those rams! So much more fun than my in-categories in the academic world (to grade; to...
  3. I hear you on creative task demands!

    I agree with you that the creative Muse is often resistant to the usual GTD workflow! Mine is fickle -- sometimes refusing to work with me, and at other times taking over my life. My suggestion would...
  4. GTD is great for big, long-term projects, like books!

    The example at the start of this thread was writing a book. I am currently proofreading the indexes for my book (6th edition of a textbook, first time I've used the GTD system for writing), and at...

    I'm faculty too

    I treat my college courses as projects too. Due date is the day the Registrar needs grades -- but when students need Incompletes, that needs to be adjusted :-( I can't do clean-up like deleting...
  9. office hours

    In my academic world, we call this "office hours." I always hope that little new work will "appear" during that time, but I never count on it!
  10. Android

    Similar issues in college teaching
