Using Agenda as a student

[Enomis65]

I am starting my Master’s and would like to use Agenda to track my assignments, reading and notes for all my courses but am a bit perplexed as to how to organize the folders (projects).

Does anybody have a model that they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps this might help, Marie?

Agenda for Project Review

According to David Allen, inventor of the GTD methodology, a project needs to be reviewed every seven days at the very most and produces an outcome completed in under a year in accordance to a multiplicity of steps. This is at least how I paraphrase the “project” entry from the glossary in the 2nd edition of the book (2015). His definition in alot more succint. Which is why Agenda is perhaps the ideal tool for reviewing any project and for defining when the 7-day and the 365-day time periods be…

(Wish I could be a student only to use Nebo for long-form notes, Drafts for editing with Critic Markup, Agenda for sequentially storing them and Mazec for short-form updates to them.)

Good luck !

I use it for my legal practice. I create projects for each client and keep a running tab of work product and communications that way. Much easier than paper or saving it in word. Plus, I can search for files much more quickly.

Perhaps you can create categories by classes (or semester) and then open projects accordingly.

Here’s a possiblity off the top of my head…

• One project per class.
• A tag for lecture notes where each note’s title is the date.
• A tag for assignments. Each assignment gets a note. Use checklists. When you’re done, mark the note as “done”. Calendar feature could be very useful here.
• Take items off the agenda as they become irrelevant.
• Have a saved search for assignments.
