I missed this the first time, but Study Hacks posted this article on Getting Things Done for College Students back last summer. It’s basically a self-contained overview of GTD, although it differs from “canonical” GTD in that it takes into account that college students don’t have a fixed 8-5 work day. Instead, they propose fixing down “work hours” and making that be your work day. There are other college-student specific variations in the main article. Well worth a look if you are a college student needing a trustworthy system for productivity.
That article is just one link in this massively-link-filled post on being productive and happy in college in general, which contains so much good advice on time and “stuff” management for college students that I think the average college student would be overwhelmed by it all. But it’s definitely deserving of a read from all students out there.
How come they don’t teach stuff like this in the freshman year, or in freshman orientation?

“How come they don’t teach stuff like this in the freshman year, or in freshman orientation?”
Because they’re too busy too busy giving mandatory diversity training and preaching the importance of “social justice” (volunteering for left-wing causes).
P.S.: I like your new theme choice!
