Actually, GTD is <em>incredibly</em> useful for students. Everyone has lots of things on their plate that are not tied to specific dates. For example, students have papers, research, projects, etc. The <em>calendar</em> would have the due date for the assignment, while GTD lists would have next actions for the project. So if I have a term paper due, one next action might be "decide on topic." In addition, students have normal life things, like everyone else: paying bills, house chores, personal care, shopping, etc, etc. Many of these things would go on the GTD list instead of the calendar. Thanks a ton for the comment. You brought up a great point. Take care, Andrew Nina,

I'm asking because it seems GTD isn't that useful for a student in that regards. since you mentioned all your “date specific” tasks go on your calendar (in reference to school), i’m wondering, do you have a lot of non-date specific school assignments?
