1. Getting Started
In the Goals section, create a new goal for the semester, for example “Fall Semester 2008″, and give it the deadline.

2. Insert Classes
In the Projects section, make a new project for each of your classes, and associate them to the goal above.

Every class will then have its tasks (actionable items), which can be easily prioritized and processed GTD style, marked as next actions and checked as done.

3. Create the school schedule
In the Schedules section, create the whole week’s schedule, and associate each entry to one of the classes above.

4. Assignments
Put any assignment you know of in the calendar at the specific date, so you don’t forget it until the bight before.

And Gtdagenda can be accessed on your mobile phone too, at gtdagenda.mobi

Unfortunately, it got kind of messy when I wanted to re-arrange my schedule as things came up. Vitalist fixed this problem. It’s also one less thing I have to carry in my pockets.

Did you try a low-tech GTD system before switching to a software based one? What benefits do you see from using a GTD computer application? I recently started using iGTD and it’s certainly proving useful but is a big change from the Moleskine based system I was using.
